It's Rev time again! The Revelation Perth International Film Festival - 27th edition - runs from July 3 to 14 at the Luna cinemas (Leederville and Fremantle), The Backlot cinema, WA Museum Boola Bardip and even Scitech. There are heaps of goodies to glue eyes to screens and bums to seats. Here are some that jumped out at me:
- Kim's Video - a doco about an iconic New York video store
- Tenement - a creepy looking Cambodian family drama
- The Primevals - Yetis, aliens, that's all I need to know
- The Man I Left Behind - a doco about Canadian photojournalist, Larry Towell
- Hesitation Wound - a Turkish legal drama (already seen, review to follow)
- Kid Snow - Kalgoorlie-shot boxing drama
- The Parallax View - 50 year anniversary of this political thriller
There are also a bunch of music documentaries, a Rev specialty - Born Innocent: The Red Kross Story, Mogwai: If the Stars had a Sound, I Should Have Been Dead Years Ago, and see below...
We had a chat with Suzanne Worner, General Manager and Communications Director of the festival, and she gave us five films to look out for - listen to the podcast below for more of that conversation. Her picks are:
- Green: The Fight for Rock and Roll - a doco about local Perth muso, Wayne Green
- Kinds of Kindness - Yorgos Lanthimos' follow-up to Poor Things
- Hundreds of Beavers - a mad looking rodent-attack comedy
- In the Trenches - a local doco about the filming of Before Dawn
- Power Alley - A Brazilian coming-of-age drama
It's a really strong year, not to mention the shorts running with, and separate to, the features (Westralia Day is a collection of local short films at the Backlot on Saturday July 6th). If you can't make it to the cinema, many of the films in this and past years' fests are available on RevStream. But honestly, the cinema is the best place to be. Happy watching.
