Dylan River and Tanith Glynn-Maloney.
After producing She Who Must Be Loved and co-producing Robbie Hood and The Beach, Tanith Glynn-Maloney is sticking to her mission of telling “blackfella” stories.
“I only want to tell positive stories about blackfellas. I’m not interested in working for white fellas just to tick some boxes,” Glynn-Maloney told First Nations Media Australia’s Catherine Liddle in a Media Ring interview last week.
Glynn-Maloney, who is partnered with her cousin Dylan River in Since 1788 Productions, is developing multiple projects including Finding Jedda, a short film funded by the No Ordinary Black initiative, in which Screen Australia’s Indigenous department is partnered with Nitv and state agencies.
Also in the works are a prequel to Robbie Hood with Ludo Studio; The Visitors, a feature drama based on Jane Harrison’s play, a co-production with Nick Batzias’ Good Thing Productions; and Pictures in Paradise’s action-adventure-drama Musquito.

Filmmaker Charles Chauvel’s final production marked a watershed for Australian films and paved the way for Indigenous actors
Jedda was the last film made by director Charles Chauvel, one of the few prominent film-makers in the first 50 years of Australian cinema. But this watershed 1955 production is best remembered for heralding a number of firsts: the first Australian film featuring two Aboriginal actors in the lead roles, the first to be shot in colour and the first to compete for the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or award.
The story of an Aboriginal girl born on a cattle station who is raised by a white family following the death of her mother, the film is a Romeo and Juliet-esque tragedy that unfolds in front of magnificent Northern Territory backdrops. The film does shows its age by substituting these backgrounds for fake ones in several scenes – large painted canvases that look preposterously unreal,...

News Ltd chief executive Kim Williams has called on the government to strengthen legislation to stop rampant piracy.
Williams, speaking at the Australian International Movie Convention on the Gold Coast, called on the government to revamp the existing copyright framework to reflect the industry's shift from analogue to digital.
"What the Australian production and distribution industry needs are renovated legal underpinnings that acknowledge the primary right of copyright owners to exploit their work in the certain knowledge that theft will be prevented and punished equally," Williams said.
"Without that core commercial underpinning the outlook for our industry . the digital entertainment industry . is grim indeed. Whilst there is endless talk about the Nbn there is yet to be any formal acknowledgement that the legislative and enforcement frameworks are disastrously outmoded and defective to sustain any relevance in confronting a modern high speed digital delivery world.

Brisbane International Film Festival and Screen Queensland have re-formatted the festival’s Chauvel Award to support novel-to-film adaptations with a $40,000 initiative.
Launched at the Brisbane Writer’s Festival’s ‘Books to Box Office’ session, the Chauvel Award, formerly recognising accomplished veterans of the industry, will now recognise film adaptations.
Maureen Barron, Screen Queensland’s CEO said at the launch: ““With domestic production levels on the rise in Queensland, we want to recognise the work of producers and writers at an earlier stage in a project’s life and, through the Chauvel Award, provide much-needed funds towards the development of a production that could stand alongside other great adaptations by Australian filmmakers.”
Queensland-born Charles Chauvel wrote, directed and produced films In the Wake of Bounty (1933 – starring Errol Flynn), The Rats of Tobruk (1944), Sons of Matthew (1949), and Jedda (1955).
“As a filmmaker, Charles Chauvel’s work reflected the rapidly evolving film industry of his era,...
