The Australian director’s book Unconditional Love stresses a fabulous career is never as important as being a good human
What do a blind photographer and a bad-arse seamstress have in common? They are both unforgettable protagonists of Australian films played by A-list actors – Hugo Weaving in 1991’s Proof and Kate Winslet in 2015’s The Dressmaker respectively – and titanic figures in the oeuvre of the director Jocelyn Moorhouse.
Critics raved about Proof – a beautifully constructed character study with an impressive early supporting performance from Russell Crowe – and audiences lapped up The Dressmaker, turning the director’s madcap adaptation of Rosalie Ham’s novel into the 13th most successful Australian film of all time at the local box office.

I’ve never had a fit, and to be honest, it’s not high on my list of things to do. But after watching Bryn Higgins’ Electricity, I feel like I’ve got an inkling of how horrible it is. This tightly focused character drama puts its audience in the shoes of Lily (Agyness Deyn), a cool, smart and attractive young woman with debilitating epilepsy.
As we open in the Yorkshire seaside town of Saltburn by the Sea, we meet Lily working the change counter in a seafront amusement arcade. Today, she’s having some fun flirting with a customer, teasing him as he clumsily chats her up. But he’s nice enough, so the two swap numbers and make a date. Later, dressed to the nines, she walks down the seafront, spots him and waves. Then the world ends. Shooting sparks of colour tear apart the frame and the world heaves,...

Principal photography has started on Electricity, starring Agyness Deyn [pictured], Lenora Crichlow, Christian Cooke, Paul Anderson, Tom Georgeson and Alice Lowe.
Bryn Higgins directs from Joe Fisher’s script adapted from Ray Robinson’s award-winning novel.
Clare Duggan produces for Stone City Films. Alison Morgan executive produces. Soda Pictures has UK rights.
The film is shooting for 6 weeks in the Northeast and London.
The story is about brash young woman (Deyn) who leaves her seaside hometown to search for her long lost brother, and experiences hallucinations brought on by her epilepsy.
Deyn said: “I love Lily’s journey, she is a survivor. Her strength and her ability to live in the present really drew me to her. She is a delight to discover and she’s teaching me a lot.”
The BFI Film Fund has backed the project, alongside the Wellcome Trust.
The filmmaking team previously worked together on Unconditional.

After the borderline-disastrous 2011 Festival, the 66th Edinburgh Film Festival seems to have found its feet again – to a degree. The awards were reinstated, the guests lent a touch of class, there were a broader range of venues and, in terms of the films I saw at least, the quality of the programme improved. These adjustments (last year, the phrase ‘This was always our intention’ was repeated like a mantra) gave the sense – absent last year – that a proper film festival was taking place.
That doesn’t mean the Festival was perfect; improving over last year wasn’t going to be terribly difficult, but generally things took a step in the right direction. I do not know to what extent this was down to the appointment of a new artistic director, Chris Fujiwara, but he brought to the Festival a depth of film knowledge coupled with a hands-on enthusiasm. There is,...

Owen (Harry McEntire) and Kristen (Madeleine Clark) are twins living on a council estate caring for their disabled mother (Melanie Hill). When their already limited finances tumble further, Kristen arranges to meet loan shark Liam (Christian Cooke). Clearly smitten, Kristen makes it her intention to woo Liam, but it’s Owen who he has eyes for and, before he knows what he’s let himself in for, they embark upon a tumultuous, unorthodox love affair that sees them both making very personal and potent discoveries.
A psycho-sexual character study masquerading as an intimate, yet peculiar love story, Unconditional explores a teenagers sudden desire to break free from the restraints his home life imposes on him, despite the mysteriousness surrounding the outside world and devotion to both his sister Kristen and their dependent mother. It’s tender and innocent enough at first, but as it reaches the midway point it adopts more thriller-esque qualities,...

The critic and filmmaker Mark Cousins loves film, and like the best critics and historians his approach to the medium is pluralistic; he doesn’t talk about films in isolation, but connects them philosophically, politically and personally to everything else. If you think you’re a movie buff, you should definitely check out his 15-part “Story of Film” series, which may make you rethink that position. In the ’90s he frequently appeared on television, interviewing a dizzying line-up of filmmakers including Woody Allen, David Lynch and Roman Polanski.
Cousins, a fixture of the Festival, is here this year with his What Is This Film Called Love? After spending six years working on his epic series on the history of cinema, he flew to Mexico and decided, on a whim (the film is ‘an ad-lib’) to film himself for the three days he spends in Mexico City. While there, another thought...

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m operating on, because what better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers? Taped Trailer I, like many other boys, went through a Patrick Dempsey phase when I was younger. It all started with Can't Buy Me Love...
