Excellent news out of Cannes for some friends of the ScreenAnarchy family here in Toronto. The film adaptation of the novel Mark of Kane is going ahead with a joint co-production between Canada and Australia. The novel by Michael Prescott, under pen name Douglas Barton, was adapted for film by our friends Justin McConnell and Serena Whitney (Do You Hear What I Hear?). As Cannes/Marché du Film begins, Australia’s Dicentium Films and Canada’s Unstable Ground have joined forces to produce Mark of Kane, the feature-film adaption of New York Times bestselling-author Michael Prescott’s cult horror novel Kane (originally published under the author name Douglas Borton).

The ugly Cronulla race riots in southern Sydney in 2005 may seem an unlikely source of humour but that.s the backdrop of writer-director Abe Forsythe.s latest film.
Set during the aftermath of the riots, the black comedy looks at two carloads of hotheads from both sides of the fight who are destined to collide.
.The narrative mines comedy through the heavy drama,. Forsythe told If on Thursday on the last day of a six-week shoot. .The humour turns on how absurd the situations were and how they spiralled out of control. It doesn.t let the audience off lightly..
Forsythe began writing the screenplay five years ago and the project finally came together with producer Jodi Matterson and Greg Mclean as executive producer. Mclean had admired Ned, Abe.s directing debut in 2003, and the two had long wanted to work together.

UK producer Kevin Loader joins comedy drama B Model, to be directed by actor Rachel Griffiths.
Now that it is likely to be set up as a UK/Australian co-production, prolific UK producer Kevin Loader (In the Loop, Hyde Park on Hudson, Le Week-End) has become part of the team behind the comedy drama B Model, to be directed by actor Rachel Griffiths.
Griffiths has directed two shorts, Roundabout and Tulip and this will be her first feature – providing the money can be raised.
Australian producer Louise Smith was reluctant to provide details of the project precisely because it is yet to be financed. The current draft of the script is being written by Samantha Stauss, co-creator of the series Dance Academy.
B Model is included in a list of 18 features that Screen Australia has injected a total of Us$500,000 worth of development money into in the last four months.

An award winning Sydney based content and social media agency has gone into liquidation owing creditors an estimated $65,000.
Dlshs (pronounced Delicious) won best social media campaign at last year’s Aimia awards for its work on promoting independent film The Tunnel.
Dlshs Pty has called in liquidator Murray Godfrey from Rmg Partners. The company’s shareholders voted on September 27 to voluntarily wind up the company. It appear to have changed its name to Forward Digital Media Agency Pacific Pty in recent days.
Documents covering the liquidation
It is unclear whether somebody has bought the Dlshs name or other assets. (Update: A statement to Mumbrella states: “The acquisition of the Dlshs name is currently under negotiation.”)
The Dlshs website is still live, although the telephone today remained unanswered.
Agency boss Ahmed Salama did not return Mumbrella’s calls. At the time of posting, Rmg partners had not responded to Mumbrella’s questions.

Everybody knows there is no exact formula to raise the funds necessary to produce a film or television program, but it doesn’t hurt to ask those who have done it successfully, using both traditional and new methods.
(note from the editor: this article was originally published in the November issue of Encore, before Screen Australia released the Drama Production Report for 2009/10)
According to the most recent National Survey of Feature Film and TV Drama Production, in 2008/09 thirteen features were financed mainly by film/TV industry sources (including cash flow against the Producer Offset); 11 were financed “substantially” by Screen Australia, State agencies and the Adelaide/Melbourne festival funds; seven (including three co-productions) were financed mainly from foreign sources; and one was financed mainly from private sources. Private investment dropped from $40m in 2007/08 to $5m in 2008/09, mainly due to the disappearance of the 10Ba model.

In an era where everything but the kitchen sink is moving online, is there much strength left in traditional forms of outdoor advertising? Hansika Bhagani found that the humble movie and TV poster is still very much alive.
Promotional posters may be as old as the moving image itself, but this old marketing and artistic tradition has not lost its relevance. Ahmed Salama, creative director at Dlshs Film says key art is as important as it ever was: “Besides the trailer, the poster is the primary representation a screen project has in the physical world. People think it’s just a poster, but it’s an immensely powerful thing. In some cases it can even add to the entire narrative of a film outside of the cinema”.
Along with Salama’s company (The Combination, Cedar Boys), there is a relatively small circle of creatives that produce most film key art in Australia.

Forget marauding rubber tyres, world's greatest dads, machete maidens and 3D cane toads, the hottest ticket at this year's Melbourne International Film Festival is Richard Gray's debut Summer Coda.
The romantic drama was the first film to sell out at the festival -- one of the large Acmi theatres no less -- and not even sweet talking or who-you-knows will get you one of the last minute reserve seats; they're gone too! I've tried.
Summer Coda was the runner up in the Australian version of Project Greenlight back in 2005, narrowly missing out on the $1 million first prize. However Gray stuck to his guns and shot the film with a stellar Aussie cast back in November last year, up in the orchard and vineyard country around Mildura in northern Victoria, and later in California.
"Stellar cast" may sound like the usual film hyperbole, but seriously when you've got Rachael Taylor (Transformers,...

With Summer Coda heading the new wave of Australian feature dramas, it looks like we are finally out of the dark, gloomy territory that has characterized local dramas this past decade.

Underbelly actor Dan Mor is developing a script based on his father’s experiences in the Six Days War, which he hopes will be an Australian/Israeli co-production.
“It will have a global appeal and a clear anti-war message. The project is currently at treatment stage and I am working with experienced industry writers to develop that treatment into an international feature film,” Mor told Encore.
Mor is working with Templar Films, the production compay behind Cedar Boys – a film in which Mor played the character of Danny. He can be currently seen in Underbelly: The Golden Mile as Danny Karam.

The circus was back in town as the who's who of the Australian film industry gathered last night for the 2009 Kodak Inside Film Awards, returning to Sydney after a number of arguably unsuccessful years of staging the event on the Gold Coast. Competing against Balibo and Cedar Boys in the Best Film category, Samson And Delilah triumphed once again after also picking up the Best Director, Best Music, Best Script and the two Best Acting nods for Marissa Gibson and Rowan McNamara. Hosted by comedian Eddie Perfect, the 11th If Awards saw an impressive list of presenters this year, including Kirk Pengilly, Peter O'Brien, Jacqueline McKenzie, Megan Gale, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Filmink friends Sam Worthington and Scott Hicks.
