Zack, Keire and Bing spend a lot of time on their skateboards. Skateboarding is their common passion that makes them happy and liberates them. It is not only the jumps and falls on the asphalt pump track that they experience together, they also “skate” together through life marked by troubled relations, family violence and confrontations with the past. Through this documentary film, the director, who is also one of the three protagonists, slowly reveals their deeply personal stories of growing up and the gaps between the world of the young and the world of grown-ups. This year’s Oscar nominee for best documentary film.

Filmed in Wisconsin and Michigan in subzero temperatures by indie film mavericks and best buddies Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews Hundreds of Beavers is a feature length live action incarnation of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Unwaveringly true to its cartoon logic from start to finish, this epic silent action comedy is endlessly inventive, inspiring, ingenious and downright insane.

Along Mad Max, Walkabout and Picnic at Hanging Rock, Wake in Fright is widely acknowledged as one of the seminal films in the development of modern Australian cinema. A long lost and bona fide masterpiece of bizarre and uncomfortable cinema. Forget about Lynch. The most sun scorched cinematic nightmare belongs to Ted Kotcheff.
