follows three families in a tight-knit coastal community who find their marriages, friendships and futures put to the test. It's the end of an era, and everything is about to change. Set in 1979 Western Australia, with a global beauty pageant contest creating a media frenzy and a power strike that threatens to plunge the region into darkness, history is at a turning point.

 TAKE MY HAND TRAILER 

WITH ADAM DEMOS AND RADHA MITCHELL

Take My Hand is out August 29th

I am treating you today with the first trailer coming from Australia for their true story drama TAKE MY HAND which lands in cinemas August 29th! John Raftopoulos’ directorial debut stars Radha Mitchell as an accomplished Australian woman living in London who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the peak of her career. After the sudden death of her husband (our boo Bart Edwards) and losing her job, she returns to Australia with her three sons before a chance reunion with a childhood sweetheart (Adam Demos) changes her life. The story is inspired by the real-life journey of Raftopoulos’ wife Claire Jensz, who is the executive producer of the film. Jake Ryan also stars.

THE END WITH TILDA SWINTON

Joshua Oppenheimer's apocalyptic new movie will have George Mackay, Stephen Graham and Tilda Swinton in the cast.  In THE END, a wealthy family survives in a palatial bunker, two decades after the world has ended. There is a mother, father, and their twenty-year-old son – he was born in the bunker and has never seen the outside world. There is a maid, with whom the son has his only honest relationship. There is also a doctor, a butler – and finally a young woman who, having barely survived, manages to find her way in. The film is a musical, and the title is THE END. Before the young woman arrives, the family celebrates their survival as confirmation of their success and righteousness, but unspoken blame over leaving loved ones behind has come between the parents, hollowing out whatever intimacy they once shared. They struggle to repress the guilt they feel for this as well as a more diffuse regret for contributing to the world’s end (The Father was an oil tycoon.) They are afraid to face their guilt, and it is this fear, more than the inhospitable conditions outside, that prevents them from leaving. Were they to leave, they’d be confronted by the truth of what they did to the world – and the fate to which they abandoned their families.
