15 May 2011 11:34 PM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Three of Australia's leading female artists have collaborated to become a 'supergroup'. Friends Sarah Blasko, Sally Seltmann and Holly Throsby, who are collectively named Seeker Lover Keeper, have made a debut record that is due for release next month. According to The Daily Telegraph, the trio employed Dirty Three's Jim White to play drums on the CD, together with guitarist Shahzad Ismaily, who has worked with Tom Waits and Martha Wainwright. They also asked well-known actors Barry Otto, Aden Young and John Waters to mime three of their songs in videos rather than starring in them themselves. Blasko said: "Three (more) »

17th London Australian Film Festival – ‘South Solitary’ & ‘The Tree’
10 May 2011 11:04 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
For anyone expecting the indigenous cinema of Australia to still revolve around post apocalyptic resource battles between roving bands of homicidal punks or bawdy comedies concerning working class types being transported from the shimmering outback to a modern urban milieu – with hilarious consequences of course – then a visit to the Barbican’s London Australian Film festival over the weekend would have shattered this redundant orthodoxy. Now in its 17th successful incarnation, the festival screened an unintentional double bill of movies from two female directors, two talents whom have crafted a historical drama and one contemporary drama respectively, where the ancient antipodean landscape provides an atmospheric background to the human theatrics that unfurl in the foreground.
The first of this duo is the period drama South Solitary in which Miranda Otto stars as Meredith Baxter, an unmarried young woman whom is accompanying her uncle to a remote island in the late »

The Jesters – Season 1
9 March 2011 7:45 PM, PST | Encore Magazine | See recent Encore Magazine news »
Universal sent us copies of Movie Extra’s show about the making of a comedy show, The Jesters.
In Season 1 Mick Molloy plays ex-comedian Dave Davies, mentor of a four upstart would-be comedians. He introduces The Jesters to show business by giving them their very own TV show. It’s all about infighting, colossal egos and potential lawsuits but ultimately brilliantly funny watching.
Guest stars include Barry Otto, Steve Vizard, Ross Noble, Chas Licciardello, Mikey Robbins and Kerri-Anne Kennerley.

South Solitary
12 January 2011 7:12 PM, PST | Encore Magazine | See recent Encore Magazine news »
From Icon, we have Shirley Barret’s South Solitary, starring Miranda Otto as a 1927 unmarried woman who accompanies her uncle (Barry Otto) to an isolated island where he has been appointed lighthouse keeper.
This is a beautiful period piece that has divided opinions; at Encore we found it a little slow but ultimately quite endearing, and both Ottos do a fantastic job.
