| | B AT H U R S T A R T S C O U N C I L supporting the arts NEWSLETTER - October 2012 Launch of The Bathurst Film Factory TO STIMULATE IMAGINATION AND CREATION The 1975 Australian cult classic film The Man from Hong Kong, which was partly filmed at nearby Sunny Corner, will be screened at Bathurst’s Metro Cinemas on 4th November 2012 to launch the exciting new arts initiative – THE BATHURST FILM FACTORY. This fundraising screening will be a great opportunity for movie-lovers and filmmakers from the region to get together and enjoy a great Sunday ‘arvo’ movie in like-minded company. THE BATHURST FILM FACTORY, organised by Christine Sweeney, is a film-focussed collective under the umbrella of the Bathurst Arts Council. It aims to bring members of the local filmmaking community together to develop, discuss and debate all things to do with film. The BFF core aim is to support filmmaking and filmmakers in the region. Australian film producer and Yetholme resident David Hannay will introduce his film The Man from Hong Kong. “American filmmaker Quentin Tarantino regards The Man From Hong Kong as one of his favourites and Brian Trenchard-Smith as his favourite Australian director,” David Hannay said. David Hannay hopes that local politicians, businesses, educators and film makers will participate in the project with energy, drive, and commitment. THE BATHURST FILM FACTORY fundraising screening will introduce the who, what, where and why of the BFF to the community. You will hear about the BFF plans for an annual film screening event, local filmmaker awards and film making opportunities. Also screening with be the locally made 16mm short film ‘Boys will be’, made by Rusty Shutter Films. Rusty Shutter Film is a recently established collaborative group of energetic filmmakers located in the Bathurst region.

Proudly supported by the Bathurst Arts Council Inc, these monthly awards acknowledge the work of young people in the Bathurst region who have distinguished themselves in their particular field of the arts. Since starting again in July, three talented young people in Bathurst have been honoured with an award with many more quality nominations coming in. Winners have been interviewed on 2BS and you will have seen profiles of them in the Western Advocate. Monthly winners also receive $100 from Bathurst Arts Council. Each monthly winner will be in the running for annual $500 award from 2BS, presented early 2013. If you’d like to nominate a young person you can send in the attached form or pick one up from the Regional Art Gallery, Sack Music, Mitchell Conservatorium or 2BS. All nominations are considered for the award and are current for the whole year (so if there are lots of great nominations received one month, those who didn’t win are still in the running for future month’s awards).
