Bran Nue Dae, which will be screened in the Generation14 Plus category at the festival, has won the Audience Award for Best Feature at the Melbourne Film Festival and People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival. Since it opened in cinemas, the film has raked in $5.5 million, making it the "biggest black-themed film in Australian history" and its director Rachel Perkins the "most commercially successful indigenous director".
Things are still relatively quiet for Red Hill, a debut from Patrick Hughes, who wrote and directed it. The film, set in rural Victoria, is slated to be screened in the Panorama category. Panorama provides a summary of "trends in art-house world cinema" while Generation14 Plus is aimed at young people aged 14 years and above.
Red Hill is slated for Australian release in the middle of 2010 and has Ryan Kwanten of True Blood fame in the lead role. According to The Age, what attracted festival organizers' interest was the film's examination of ''the criminal tactics of a racist police force in the outback''.
