Revelation Film Festival 2020 - Preview (plus podcast interview with Richard Sowada)

The 23rd Revelation Film Festival runs from Thursday 10th to Sunday 13th Dec and there are some tasty looking films on offer. They mostly screen at the Luna in Leederville with some down in Freo at Luna on SX, and a couple at the Windsor in Nedlands. The Backlot in West Perth and Johnny Ma Studios in Maylands have a few things on the Saturday. The complete schedule can been found on the Revelation website (link above).

I'm filling my card with some interesting looking features and docos, as well as an outing to the (FREE) Family Animation Explosion!, which is on at 10:30 every morning of the fest. It should be mentioned that all screenings are COVID restricted this year, so it's going to be a case of 'first in, first served'.

It has taken me a fecking long time to choose which ones to see, but that's part of the fun of something like this. There are really too many to talk about here but especially notable films include locally (WA) produced, An Ideal Host and a 1969 Mexican film, Night of the Bloody Apes (Friday double bill), the controversial, The Trouble with Being Born (pulled from the Melbourne International Film Festival), another local film, The Xrossing, and Atlantis from the Ukraine. 

There are a bunch of great looking documentaries too: Collective, Desert One, My Rembrandt and The Jump could all be peaches. Throw in the numerous shorts on offer and there's a wealth of goodies to get your peepers on.
