Screen Australia has released the final guidelines for its new suite of documentary programs, sparking a wave of criticism that little has changed since the draft guidelines were published in September.
Australian Directors Guild executive director Kingston Anderson said, "We are very disapointed. This is a missed opportunity."
Simon Nasht told If, "Documentary has been hit with a totally unjustifed cut of more than $2 million while feature film remains a protected species mired in failure."
Fellow filmmaker Tom Zubrycki said, "Of all the drafts Screen Australia has issued the initial ones issued back in June which recognised the changing nature of documentary production were far preferable to this comprised final version.
.It's very disappointing that the overall allocation for documentary has dropped by $1.1 million. Moreover this figure hides a far greater reduction because feature documentaries are no longer allowed to apply via the feature film production door and instead will...

An on-form Steven Soderbergh serves up a cracking medical thriller. Here's James' review of the tense Side Effects...
Not without its undoubted highs, it’s fair to say that Steven Soderbergh’s directorial career has been something of a mixed bag. Despite a blistering start, with his Palme d’Or winning debut, Sex, Lies And Videotape (1989) effectively serving as the blueprint for American independent film in the 1990s, the outspoken ‘auteur’ then spent most of that decade sliding further and further into obscurity with a series of flawed, frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful features.
Regaining his creative compass with 1998’s Elmore Leonard adaptation, Out Of Sight, the relative critical and commercial success of that picture – coupled with his potent creative relationship with star George Clooney – found the director propelled back into the limelight.
Capitalising on that success, between 1999 and 2002 the prolific Soderbergh produced a golden...

Side Effects
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Written by Scott V. Burns
USA, 2013
What Steven Soderbergh excels in as a filmmaker is in defying expectations. We can spot a Soderbergh film easily enough through his visual markers, whether he’s making a heist film or a lowdown action film or a story set in the world of male strippers, but he’s content to not be boxed in. Thus, some people may walk into Side Effects, his latest (and supposedly final) theatrical release, expecting a new Contagion, as this reunites Soderbergh with that film’s screenwriter. Expectations in Soderbergh’s world are meant to be turned upside down, however. Anchored by solid and constantly shifting performances from Jude Law and Rooney Mara, Side Effects proves another thrilling and frequently unpredictable entry in Soderbergh’s retirement tour.
Praising Side Effects is simple enough, but discussing it in depth will be difficult, as...

The important thing to know about Side Effects -- which Steven Soderbergh says will be his last theatrical film for a while, maybe forever -- is that whatever you're thinking it's going to be, it probably is not that. Pardon my vagueness as I avoid ruining any surprises, but what begins as a shrewd, piercing story about the pharmaceutical industry turns into something else, a different kind of story altogether. That's Soderbergh: always keeping us on our toes, even in "ordinary" genre films. We begin with bloody footprints (an ominous sign), then jump back three months. High-finance guy Martin Taylor (Channing Tatum) is just being paroled after doing time for insider trading, and is glad to be reunited with his wife, Emily (Rooney Mara), who...

Open Road Films has just released the 3rd trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s final theatrical film, Side Effects starring Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Side Effects is a provocative thriller about Emily and Martin (Rooney Mara and Channing Tatum), a successful New York couple whose world unravels when a new drug prescribed by Emily’s psychiatrist (Jude Law) – intended to treat anxiety – has unexpected side effects.
Emily (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara) and Martin Taylor (Channing Tatum) are a young, beautiful, wealthy couple living the good life, with a mansion, a sailboat and every luxury money can buy—until Martin is sent to prison for insider trading. For four years, Emily waits for him in a tiny apartment in upper Manhattan, but his release is just as devastating as his incarceration and Emily sinks into a deep depression.
