CINEMA AUSTRALIA SAY This film is making some noise. Four nominations at the Sundance Film Festival including a win for director Sophie Hyde and two nominations at the Berlin International Film Festival including the Crystal Bear for best film in the Generation 14plus strand. Not bad for an indie Australian flick. We’re hoping the film lives up to the hype and is as equally successful in its native country than it has been around the world. Hopefully a trailer will be available soon.

http://www.my52tuesdays.com SAY 16-year-old Billie’s reluctant path to independence is accelerated when her mother reveals plans for gender transition and their time together becomes limited to Tuesday afternoons. Filmed over the course of a year, once a week, every week – only on Tuesdays – these unique filmmaking rules bring a rare authenticity to this emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility and transformation.
