THE movie Broken Hill may not have been released but a group is putting on a screening this week.

Filmed predominantly in and around Adelaide in 2008 Broken Hill has been released on DVD in the US and event organiser Anne O’Dea has (legally) got her hands on a copy and has permission to show it on the big screen.

It will have its Adelaide premiere at 7pm on Thursday at AC Arts Main Theatre on Light Square.

The Fishbowl Boys, who had a small part in the film, are using the event to raise funds for their trip to the US this month for the International Barbershop Championships.

Doors open at 6.30pm.

‘BROKEN HILL TO BE THE INAUGURAL FEATURE FILM FOR A MAJOR NEW AUSTRALIAN FESTIVAL’

To all those who have been won­der­ing about delayed tim­ing and the why’s and wherefore’s of a major release of Bro­ken Hill the movie, here is our defin­i­tive answer.

After doing exten­sive test mar­ket­ing in the USA, plus a very suc­cess­ful run around the inter­na­tional film fes­ti­val cir­cuit, and after observ­ing how many qual­ity inde­pen­dent films dis­ap­pear between the cracks of the film world, Audi­ence Alliance Pic­tures and the pro­duc­ers of Bro­ken Hill deter­mined that wait­ing and build­ing a solid plat­form was bet­ter than a fast run into the real world obliv­ion of so many films.

This was an impor­tant deci­sion from Audi­ence Alliance Pic­tures point of view, but it was also intended to honor and do jus­tice to every­one who has worked on the film — all the cre­ative tal­ent, the extras and other will­ing sup­port­ers in Aus­tralia and else­where. We also made a fun­da­men­tal deci­sion to make sure that our films are sup­port­ing sub­stan­tial and worth­while causes as well as pro­vid­ing good entertainment.

We are pleased to announce that Bro­ken Hill will launch in the first week of Sep­tem­ber in Bro­ken Hill and will be in approx­i­mately 300 venues around Aus­tralia dur­ing Sep­tem­ber. That means that almost every­one, any­where in Aus­tralia, who wants to see the movie will be able to.

After exten­sive nego­ti­a­tions, Bro­ken Hill has been selected as the inau­gural film for a major new national edu­ca­tional ini­tia­tive in Aus­tralia aimed at schools, fam­i­lies and com­mu­ni­ties. The details of the ini­tia­tive have not been made pub­lic yet, the for­mal announce­ment will hap­pen July 23 in Syd­ney, so we will hold fur­ther details until then. But count on September.

The num­ber of loca­tions is excep­tional for any film shown in Aus­tralia other than a hand­ful of major pro­duc­tions such as, “Aus­tralia” and “Happy Feet”, or Hol­ly­wood block­busters. To every­one who has been a part of the Bro­ken Hill movie project: thanks for your efforts, thanks for your patience, this result makes it worthwhile.

Fur­ther, Audi­ence Alliance Pic­tures is devel­op­ing sev­eral new films to be pro­duced in Aus­tralia. And finally, a major video dis­trib­u­tor will be releas­ing Bro­ken Hill on DVD in the USA in Octo­ber 2010, along with a num­ber of national US tele­vi­sion appoint­ments, and dis­tri­b­u­tion deals in other inter­na­tional mar­kets ramp­ing up too. The DVD will be released in Aus­tralia to coin­cide with the the­atri­cal release.
