Australian feature documentaries promoted at key film markets throughout 2007.
In recognition of the increasing popularity of theatrically-released documentaries, this year's features catalogue contains several feature docos from some of Australia's most talented filmmakers, including Night by festival favourite Lawrence Johnston (Eternity, Life) and Forbidden Lie$ by renowned documentary maker Anna Broinowski (Helen's War, Hell Bento!! ). Also featured is the controversial Bra Boys, a compelling story of surfie outcasts in Sydney's eastern suburbs. Bra Boys broke the opening-weekend box office record for an Australian feature documentary, and after just a few weeks became the highest-grossing Australian theatrical feature documentary ever released. |
