22.01.2022 'Cry of the Forests' is a brand new documentary film that shines a light on the plight of our magnificent South West forests and their role in drawing down and storing carbon. Our forests are vital to slowing run-away climate change, yet instead of preserving them we are cutting them down at an alarming rate for charcoal, firewood and wood-chips. Forests play a crucial role in the water cycle but the streams that once bubbled through these ecological communities are drying up and the critical habitat they provide for endangered species is shrinking. The film takes viewers to the heart of the forests to see first-hand the beauty of these towering ecosystems and the life they support. Will we save our forests in time for them to save us?

Completely unversed in the ways of the wilderness, the spurned Antoinette impulsively decides to follow them, and once paired with an unlikely companion - an obstinate but evidently wise grey donkey named Patrick - discovers much, much more than she bargained for...

18.01.2022 WA’s south-west forests are part of one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and are recognised for their ability to capture and store carbon. They are vital to slowing run-away climate change yet instead of preserving them we are cutting them down at an alarming rate for charcoal, firewood and woodchips. Forests play a crucial role in the water cycle but the streams that once bubbled through these ecological communities are drying up and the critical habitat they pro...vide for endangered species is shrinking. 'Cry of the Forests' takes viewers to the heart of the forests to see first-hand the beauty of these towering ecosystems and the life they support.

This film seeks to change perceptions about native forests and their true value. See more

07.01.2022 Ahead of an upcoming exhibition, Dan is approached by a South Sudanese cab driver, Sebastian (Andrew Luri), who arrives on his door with a special request: that Dan photograph an African community choir he belongs to. My first thought was that this would lead to the broken Dan becoming whole again by belting out a few uplifting songs with the choristers. But Sebastian has an ulterior motive: he doesn’t want Dan to exhibit photographs of a massacre at the village where he lived 15 years ago. He has his own reasons for this, which are explored over the course of the running time and are points of tension between the two characters.

Italian conductor Giovanni Reggioli, who has worked at the Washington National Opera, says of 50 singers that start studying voice I think two make it a professional career. It is a dying art form, the film makes clear, but there is so much hope in these young people as they nervously audition. You can tell in the first 10 seconds, says Alondra de la Parra, the conductor and music director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra of an audition. You don't need anything else because it is so clear." Watch the opera students battle against the odds in 'Love Opera' on Wednesday!
