"She had the will to win, but she also had the will to live." Transmission Films has revealed the first trailer for A Horse Named Winx, a documentary film about the famous racehorse from Australia. Winx's final race in April 2019 was watched by millions worldwide. From the wilful foal who was hard to catch, to a plain leggy teenager who kept to herself & turned her back on affection, Winx became a front page phenomenon, and in the process thrust her trainer Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman onto the world stage. But away from the cameras, coping with the enormous pressure of maintaining the winning streak was testing Team Winx to the limit. A Horse Named Winx goes behind the sports headlines and spectacular victories to reveal the unforgettable spirit of a champion, who away from the racetrack faced her biggest battle and once again refused to be beaten.

Director and producer Janine Hosking will be honoured with the Stanley Hawes Award, which recognises outstanding contribution to the Australian documentary sector, at next week’s Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc).
Hosking’s documentary films include My Khmer Heart, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award, Ganja Queen and feature documentary Mademoiselle and The Doctor.

The award will be presented to Hosking during the conference’s Monday morning opening address.
“I had no idea that Aidc was considering me for this award, so it comes as a complete surprise,” said Hosking.
“As those in the industry know, the documentary landscape has become increasingly challenging so I deeply appreciate that my work as an Indie filmmaker is being acknowledged with this award.

Natalie Miller.
The Australian films and feature documentaries released in cinemas this year including holdovers collectively have grossed $39.7 million.
So while the calendar year total will fall short of 2018’s $57.4 million, it should be noted Peter Rabbit was the top local title last year, grossing $26.7 million, which alone could explain the year-on-year decline. Sony Pictures is due to launch Peter Rabbit 2 next March, so that is virtually certain to be a big contributor to the 2020 revenues.
As Cinema Nova has supported almost every Australian release, If asked co-executive director Natalie Miller to assess the overall commercial and critical appeal of this year’s Oz slate.
“It’s not bad but it’s not great,” says the veteran exhibitor/distributor, who gives high marks to Ride Like a Girl, Top End Wedding, Storm Boy, Palm Beach and the feature docs 2040, Mystify: Michael Hutchence and The Australian Dream.
