Gullpilil

MY NAME IS GULPILIL is available with Audio Description

In his final film, the great Australian actor David Gulpilil faces his own mortality: he is dying of lung cancer. He talks to a future audience about what it is to stare down death, and what it was to live a life such as he did, a dizzying mix of traditional Aboriginal ways and modern Western movies. And now he looks toward going home, to his own funeral.
My Name Is Gulpilil is directed by Molly Reynolds and produced by Rolf de Heer, Peter Djigirr, David Gulpilil and Molly Reynolds.

LITTLE TORNADOES – rolling out nationally May 12

Introverted Leo is a metalworker at his small town’s local plant. After his wife vanishes, leaving him to care for their two young children, he is bereft – barely able to cook a decent meal or keep the household running. So when a recently-arrived Italian colleague suggests that his sister, Maria, act as surrogate homemaker, Leo reluctantly accepts. But can one woman’s warm, nurturing presence fill the void left by another, and can Leo yield to the winds of change?
The film distils the many upheavals of 1970s Australia – from immigration and post-war resettlement, to urbanisation, anti–Vietnam War protests and the women’s liberation movement – into a narrative about one man’s struggle to adapt.
LITTLE TORNADOES is a portrait of a country at a turning point and the human desire for connection.

Phil Liggett: The Voice of Cycling – premieres at Adelaide Film Festival 2020

A former amateur racer turned professional commentator, Phil Liggett has covered 47 Tours de France and 15 Olympic Games. He has seen the giants of cycling come and go and he has outlasted them all. He has called every triumph, tragedy and scandal in the sport for half a century. Astonishingly poetic and whimsical, Phil’s flights of rhetorical brilliance on the microphone are the stuff of legend and are globally known as “Liggettisms”. Phil Liggett has shaped the way the world sees cycling, and his name has become synonymous with the sport.
Phil has no plans to retire and has found a new and urgent vocation saving endangered rhinos from poachers – but can this ever replace the thrill of calling the big races? But, like the Tour Down Under, that new passion is going to bring him back to South Australia.
AFF regulars Eleanor Sharpe and Nickolas Bird who previously brought us the cycling masterwork MAMIL in 2017, now they pose the question: How much longer can Phil continue to be the voice of cycling?
