We’re excited to share this trailer from The Cop From Wagga, currently streaming on @abciview as part of the AFTRS Showcase.

It appears alongside four additional films recently added to the slate — Bőr, Call It Anything, Set Menu and Quiet Night Thought. Created by the Master of Arts Screen classes of 2022/2023, these works are now being enjoyed by audiences across Australia following successful festival runs.
 
The documentary The Cop From Wagga was awarded silver in the Documentaries category at the ACS QLD & NT Awards last year, and screened at the Antenna Documentary Film Festival and the Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival.

The film revisits 1973, when Terry O’Connell was a junior police officer and, during his rounds, was randomly assaulted by a teenage boy. Instead of throwing the full weight of the law at the offender, Terry set out to revolutionise the way crime and punishment were treated by society and law enforcement.
 
Director/Producer – Lina Talib
Cinematographer – Kevin Nguyen
Editor – Amy Dunn
Music – Ray Lin
Sound Designer – Cate Cahill
Featuring – Terry O’Connell, Margaret O’Connell, Gary Ashwood and Kerrie Sellen

Is the Master of Arts Screen: Business right for you?

The Master of Arts Screen: Business (MASB) is for screen practitioners ready to step into producing or leadership roles, as well as writers, directors and creatives who want to better understand how projects are financed and commissioned. It is suited to professionals looking to grow their strategic capability, and for those ready to launch or scale their own projects or businesses.

As Discipline Lead Krista Jordan puts it:
“We inspire screen entrepreneurs, business owners, business builders, creative business people to take ... that learning and that passion back out into industry and ... increase the exponential impact that Australians can have within the screen sector..”

Applications for the mid-year intake Close 2 June.

We’re thrilled to share this moment from Call It Anything, now streaming on @abciview AFTRS Showcase, alongside four new films newly added to the slate: Bőr, Quiet Night Thought, Set Menu and The Cop From Wagga.

Produced by the Master of Arts Screen classes of 2022/2023, these films are now reaching audiences nationwide after enjoying successful festival runs.
Call It Anything tells the story of a son struggling to express his feelings to his mother. To convey what he cannot put into words, he enlists three musicians to translate his emotions into music, embarking on a personal journey that explores the complexity of emotions through the ecstasy of musical performance.

The Master of Arts Screen short premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival, screened at SXSW Sydney as part of the NSW House program and represented Australian films at Festival Antipodes Saint-Tropez and the London Australian Film Festival.

Watch Call It Anything on @abciview

Call It Anything Crew:
Director/Producer – Melvin Kwong
Cinematographer – Jesse Philips
Editor – Izzat Nadeem
Sound Designer – Samuel Turner
Music – Nodira Islam
Cello - Lily Innis
Guiter - Tobias Dracoulis

We are delighted to share this scene from Set Menu, a Master of Arts Screen production which brings the audience to dinner with Frances, who is denied the coveted set menu for dining alone at a famously exclusive restaurant and strikes an unexpected deal with a stranger to access both the menu and a night of peace and solitude.

Hop on to ABC iView to watch the film, which is streaming as part of the AFTRS Showcase, along with films from more AFTRS alumni, including Jane Campion, Ivan Sen, Phillip Noyce, Catriona McKenzie, Chris Noonan, Gillian Armstrong and Cate Shortland.

Set Menu won the inaugural AACTA Award for Best Student Film, and it premiered at SXSW Sydney. The film screened at the Cinequest Film & VR Festival USA, Westpac OpenAir Cinema, Perth Revelation Film Festival, CinefestOZ, and Newport Beach Film Festival. Set Menu was also selected as a finalist in the CILECT global film schools competition, where it placed 4th out of 118 films. Delicious!
