Movies about cooking love, life and betrayal – with the occasional murder thrown in!
School's in! The next season in Jonathan Dawson's Saturday Morning Films looks set to be delicious. Lots of film background and history, culture and filmmaking context wil be covered. Most film makers and cooks reckon the two arts are very closely linked…taste this extraordinary movie season and you’ll see why! Run over four consecutive Saturday mornings (beginning July 19). All welcome, no previous experience or qualifications required.
Week 1: Big Night (Stanley Tucci)
Touching little story about two brothers running a New York Italian Bistro, one wants perfection, the other just the money! Loved by all cooks and movie lovers.
Week 2: Mondovino (Jonathan Nossiter)
Brilliant documentary blowing the cork out of the international wine industry. Remarkable documentary movie making.
Week 3: Eat The Rich (Peter Richardson)
Marxism collides with Thatcher's Britain in this breakneck romp -packed with food, class struggle, murder, satire, and grotesque and wondrous culinary adventures-. Punk movie making at it's wildest!
Week 4: Dinner Rush (Bob Giraldi)
Thriller set in a real restaurant - owned by the filmmaker/restauranteur. Cracking pace, dazzling visuals and the best insights into behind the scenes in a kitchen.
Saturday Mornings from 9.30am to 12.30pm, beginning July 19
Made possible with the support of Screen Tasmania
Cost $99 for the four weeks (or $25 single sessions - subject to availability)
Warren Miller's latest installment takes audiences back...to the Playground!!
There's a place surrounded by an invisible line in the snow, across which day-to-day reality cannot go; where the rules and regulations of a world structured by parents and bosses, spouses and teachers fall to the ground and melt away like a snowball dropped onto a cleared sidewalk in the sun. In this place, fun and challenge are the only objectives; play and freedom are the only rules, so for our 58th feature film, Warren Miller Entertainment heads back to our stomping ground ... The Playground.
Here, swing-sets, seesaws, and slides are replaced by towering peaks, chute-laced descents and kickers so big only kids have the courage to try them. Experience the famed ranges of British Columbia, Utah, and Alaska through the eyes of big mountain riders who see fun where others only see fear. Join young athletes as they tackle the slopestyle competition at the U.S. Freeskiing Open like it was some kind of video game come to life, where the risks are worth the rewards. And meet the locals in places like Aspen, Colorado., where an entire community dedicates itself to making a Playground out of a town.
The world's largest action sports film is coming to The State! 2008's Playground, featuring electrifying winter-sports footage in crystal-clear high definition, will take you from the slopes of Sweden, Canada, Alaska and Japan to .... Dubai! Strictly limited screenings that you won't want to miss!!
