It’s often stated, only half-jokingly, that not only can everything in Australia kill you in a variety of agonizing ways, but will also gladly do so. The next cinematic outing to explore this concept is The Faceless Man, a horror that looks compellingly nasty, and for which a new trailer has now been released.
The story follows cancer survivor Emma, whose Bff Nina organizes a weekend away to take her mind off her fear of a relapse, bringing along several friends for a wild time cut off from contact with the outside world where the only things to concern themselves with is what’s right in front of them. Unfortunately, this ends up including some locals who take violent exception to their carefree heathen ways and attempt to educate them in proper decorum when visiting backwater settlements in the middle of nowhere, all the while an entity haunting the...

Sophie Thurling in ‘The Faceless Man.’
Writer-director James Di Martino did not like any of the distribution deals he was offered for his debut feature The Faceless Man, so he is releasing the film in Australia and New Zealand with the help of a marketing team he has assembled.

We take a closer look at the supernatural book series by Doctor Who writer Ben Aaronovitch in the lead up to the latest book's release.
Lies Sleeping, the seventh book in the Rivers of London, a series that’s wildly-popular in its hometown setting of London, releases on November 20, 2018. Beginning with Midnight Riot (titled Rivers of London in England) in 2011, the Rivers of London series follows Probationary Constable Peter Grant in his journey to detective-hood—with a serious side of magic.
Read Lies Sleeping by Ben Aaronovitch
Peter is a sarcastic and entertaining narrator, and he’s an excellent guide through a world where London isn’t just the setting, but a character itself. If you’ve not yet read any of the books leading up to Lies Sleeping, it’s a good idea to start at the beginning... but even if you leap into the series with both feet,...

‘Book Week’ did not qualify for the Offset.
Eleven years since the introduction of the Producer Offset (Po), Screen Australia has expressed concern about an increase in applications for feature films that have unreasonably high fees.
A big proportion of those fees is being reinvested in the belief that will meet the criteria for qualifying Australian production expenditure (Qape).
The legislation limits the amount that can be claimed as Qape on above-the-line fees to 20 per cent of total film expenditure .
“Alarm bells are ringing at the growth in films that set out on this trajectory having unreasonably high fees,” the agency, which administers the concession via the Producer Offset and Co-production Unit (Pocu), warned this week.
“If the budget has been inflated because of the high level of fees due to re-investments the 20 per cent cap becomes less of a guide when assessing arm’s length.
