“Sinners”: A pulsating, scorching tale of blues & blood that invests in character before unleashing horror and is rewarded with fearsome performances. The metaphor makes for intriguing polemic as well as an intoxicating ride. Blockbuster entertainment superbly crafted & equally rewarding.

Cinesound newsreel “Kokoda Front Line!” was one of four Best Documentary winners at the 15th Academy Awards, and the first Australian film to win an Oscar. Filmed by Damien Parer and directed by Ken G. Hall, the 9 minute film can be seen on Youtube.

David Lynch was not only a masterful filmmaker but an artist of such striking and singular vision that his name now denotes a particular blend of haunting aesthetic and surrealist storytelling. His twisting dreamlike nightmares, punctuated with bursts of vibrant red, are unique and unforgettable.

Trauma, voicelessness, and the struggle to find healing are sensitively and deftly explored through powerfully expressive animation in “The Missing” from The Philippines. This is compassionate, creative cinema deserving Best International Film recognition at the Golden Globes & Academy Awards.
