TONIGHT - Three to Go Tuesday October 29th – 7.30 p.m. Dirs: Brian Hannant, Oliver Howes, Peter Weir, 1971 Australia | Format: 16mm| 90 minutes Frustrated by the dormant state of the Australian film industry, Gil Brealy and Richard Mason—producers with the government-backed, documentary-producing Commonwealth Film Unit—decided to commission a three-episode feature film to show off the talents of several emerging young directors, including future six-time Oscar winner Peter Weir. Made under the working title Youth, the project was intended to depict the lives of young Australians of the era, with Weir’s intensely stylized contribution, “Michael,” focusing on a man from a conservative family background who finds himself being drawn to the burgeoning hippie culture. In director Oliver Howes’ “Toula,” a Greek-Australian woman finds herself torn between family tradition and her desire to live a modern life. And in “Judy,” director Brian Hannant (who would go on to co-author the screenplay for The Road Warrior) follows a girl (future film star Judy Morris) who leaves her small country town to try on life in the big city. Michael (Three to go) - 31 minutes A dramatic story illustrating some of the contemporary problems of youth, the generation gap, conformity and protest. Judy (Three to go) – 30 minutes Follows a country girls experience of city life. Toula (Three to go) – 30 minutes A dramatic story of the conflict between parents and children in an immigrant family in the effort to reconcile the Australian way of living with conservative European traditions.
