Trailer at link below.

I'm afraid this won't be released in the U.S., which would be a shame.

It is about the 1975 invasion of East Timor by the Phillipines and the fate of five Australian journalists who are covering this genocide. I want to see it . . . now.

We are still figuring which films we CAN get to on top of which we WANT to get to.
- Great news. Looking forward to your review, and noticed - townsend 18:28:26 07/19/09 (1)
  now your link below to the festival website, w/ festival starting on 7/30/09.
  
  Last Ride, starring Hugo Weaving is another Australian film that I came across. I saw a trailer--IIRC at www.imdb.com.
  
  Enjoy the festival. Cannibalizing is strictly forbidden in the audience while watching Van Diemen's Land.

    I am hoping to see it this week.
    It is screening at a couple of local cinemas.
    I really like our festival, with the one proviso that cinemas are notorious here for failing to start films on time, which, if you are running round town during the festival, can be extremely annoying. This year it is a bit more compact which should help.
    I know Ann the festival director and the team put a lot of work into providing a good programme.
    We punch above our weight up here you know!
