 Yarra Ranges Film Society Presents "WAKE IN FRIGHT"  
Tuesday, 10 November 2009
7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Event image
(US/Australia– drama – 1971) 114m
A young schoolteacher is caught up in the ugly side of life in outback Australia on his way home to the city for the holidays. This brilliant but disturbing film holds up a mirror to a part of Australian “culture” which is less than flattering and has been little seen since its initial release (the negative was missing for many years). Gary Bond, Donald Pleasence and Jack Thompson feature in Ted Kotchoff’s film based on the Kenneth Cook novel.

 MOVIE - BEAUTIFUL KATE (MA) 101 Minutes  
Tuesday, 10 November 2009
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Brimming with lyricism and honesty, BEAUTIFUL KATE follows Ned’s (Ben Mendelsohn) return to the isolated
bush farmhouse that was once home to say goodbye to his estranged father (Bryan Brown). Past confl icts
emerge as Ned recalls long-buried memories of his beautiful twin-sister Kate (Sophie Lowe), gradually
succumbing to recollections of the summer in which their burgeoning adolescence led to a tragic loss. Vibrant
performances from a stellar Australian cast including Rachel Griffi ths are accentuated by the gothic overtures
of Andrew Commis’ lush cinematography which perfectly captures the isolation of a young life lived on the land.
Based on the Newton Thornburg novel, BEAUTIFUL KATE is the accomplished feature debut of actress Rachel Ward.

The actors give performances from the page.

This highly respected series, known as Beyond Cuisine, has attracted rave reviews and played to packed houses over the past two years.
It was a featured event of last year’s Melbourne Writers Festival.
