Firestarter: The Story of Bangarra snapped up in pre-sale deal

ABC Commercial has announced a pre-sale of the highly acclaimed feature length documentary Firestarter: The Story of Bangarra (HD1 x 90’ & HD1 x 60’) to Sweden’s public broadcaster for their SVT2 and SVT Play platforms.

Already winning several awards in its home country, Firestarter marks Bangarra Dance Theatre’s 30th anniversary. Taking us through the company’s birth and spectacular growth, the film recognises Bangarra’s founders and also tells the story of how three young Aboriginal brothers — Stephen, David and Russell Page — turned the newly born dance group into a First Nations cultural powerhouse.

But as the story reveals, the company’s international success came at a huge personal cost. Through the eyes of the brothers and company alumni, Firestarter explores the loss and reclaiming of culture, the burden of intergenerational trauma, and – crucially – the power of art as a messenger for social change and healing.

This captivating film features a combination of intimate observational material, combined with candid interviews and a treasure trove of archival footage – revealing the indigenous dance company’s incredible rise and triumph against the odds.

ABC Commercial’s Head of Content Sales & Distribution, Jessica Ellis said “We are incredibly proud to be partnering with SVT on this exceptional documentary. The interest surrounding the program prior to its distribution launch at Avant Première has been phenomenal. Audiences from film festival screenings have embraced and celebrated this stunning addition to ABC Commercial’s Arts slate”.

In Films’ Managing Director and Executive Producer, Ivan O’Mahoney said: “Bangarra Dance Theatre is one of Australia’s best loved performing arts companies, with a huge following overseas, especially in North America and Europe. Bangarra tell vital stories – both ancient and modern – of Indigenous Australia in an accessible, beautiful, way. It has been a privilege to make the film.”

Produced by In Films and directed by Wayne Blair (The Sapphires) and Nel Minchin (Matilda & Me, Making Muriel), Firestarter: The Story of Bangarra won Best Documentary at the 2020 AACTA Awards and both Best Documentary and the inaugural Change Award at the 2020 Adelaide Film Festival.

Set to perform strongly on the global festival circuit, Firestarter will have its international theatrical premiere on 28 Feb 2021 at The Pan African Film + Arts Festival in Los Angeles. It will premiere on SVT2 in mid-2021.

Schedule update

It will be the new season premiere of One Plus One, followed at 10.05pm by the FTA premiere of Foxtel documentary Aussie Inventions That Changed the World. It debuted on History channel in June 2019.

Being Frank: The Frank Gardner Story

image

Monday 15 March at 9:30pm

Sixteen years after being shot by Al-Qaeda, broadcast journalist and author Frank Gardner explores
what it is like to suddenly become disabled, meeting others with life-changing injuries.

In 2004, BBC correspondent Frank Gardner was shot six times by Al-Qaeda gunmen whilst reporting on
growing terrorist activity in Saudi Arabia. The bullets damaged his spinal nerves – at the age of 43 Frank
was left partially paralysed and has used a wheelchair ever since. Sixteen years later, Frank has never
fully got used to being disabled. In this deeply personal film, he talks candidly about the effects his
injuries have had on his life, work, relationships, and the way he views himself. Disarmingly honest about
revealing the ongoing physical indignities that have resulted from the attack, Frank nevertheless finds
talking about his emotional response more difficult.

Revisiting his past as a young man backpacking around the Middle East, Frank tells the story of how he
became a BBC correspondent in the 1990s. At this time Frank met his wife Amanda and they had two
children. This film shows never-before-seen footage of the last report that Frank and cameraman Simon
Cumbers were making just prior to the attack by Al-Qaeda, during which Simon lost his life, and Frank
very nearly didn’t make it.

Reflecting on his recovery, Frank says it was Amanda who helped him most - but it was not without its
impact on their relationship. Recently, Frank and Amanda have divorced, amicably, and Frank now finds
himself at a turning point in his life in a new relationship.

Exploring the way that others have responded to sudden, life-changing injuries, Frank meets Yasmin, a
young woman who suffered a spinal cord injury as a result of a climbing accident. Yasmin is still coming
to terms with her disability, and her comments remind Frank of the shock and intense sadness he felt
immediately after becoming paralysed.

Frank meets a military couple whose marriage has been affected by a life-changing injury. He also
meets Gerard, a young man living in Edinburgh who has paralysis in all four limbs as a result of a diving
accident. Gerard’s disability is far more severe than Frank’s – he must have 24-hour live-in care – but the
two share a love of the Middle East, and Gerard’s positivity has a strong impact on Frank.

The Ghost Train Fire

From Tuesday 16 March at 8:30 PM

Multi award-winning journalist Caro Meldrum-Hanna returns for her most ground- breaking investigation yet, exposing the truths behind a 42-year-old mystery.

Across three feature-length episodes, this stunning investigation reveals the untold story of the 1979 Ghost Train Fire at Sydney’s iconic Luna Park.

On a winter’s night screams of delight turned into screams of terror as the Ghost Train ride erupted in flames, quickly becoming an inferno. Six boys and one man died.

The fire was written off by authorities as a terrible accident but was it something more sinister?

Despite multiple inquiries, rumours and innuendo, no one has ever been held accountable for the blaze.

Leaving no stone unturned, Caro and the team re-investigate the tragic event which claimed the lives of seven people: John Godson (29) and his two sons, Damien (6) and Craig (4). And four schoolboy best mates: Jonathan Billings (13), Richard Carroll (13), Michael Johnson (13) and Seamus Rahilly (13).

With unprecedented access to the key people involved, The Ghost Train Fire features an astonishing cast of eyewitnesses, police, investigators, and government insiders who have never spoken before.
Silences will be broken and secrets will be told.

The families of those who died in the fire, and many of those who survived it, have long suspected foul play.

Arrow Pictures announces feature doc River

Theatrical release reunites the team behind the multi-award-winning Sherpa

Stranger Than Fiction Films and Arrow Pictures have announced River, a new theatrical documentary project for worldwide release. This new collaboration between the two companies reunites the team behind the multi-award-winning feature documentary Sherpa and follows in the footsteps of Mountain, the highest-grossing Australian documentary in box office history, which completed an 11-week run in UK and US cinemas.

This major theatrical project, commissioned by ABC Arts and BBC Arts and co-produced with distributors Dogwoof and Madman Entertainment, with major production investment from Screen Australia and the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO), explores the remarkable relationship between humans and rivers. A unique cinematic and musical collaboration between the ACO and BAFTA-nominated director Jennifer Peedom, River features specially-composed music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Richard Tognetti and a narration script by Robert Macfarlane, the internationally award-winning author of bestselling books about landscape, nature and place. The score also features music from Jonny Greenwood and Radiohead. The film is directed by Jennifer Peedom, co-directed by Joseph Nizeti and produced by Jo-anne McGowan and Jennifer Peedom from Stranger than Fiction and John Smithson from Arrow Pictures. International distributor Dogwoof will be representing world sales, starting at European Film Market from 1 March.

River takes its audience on an astonishing journey through space and time. Spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before, and builds on the huge success of Peedom’s previous film, Mountain.

Jennifer Peedom, Producer, Director and Co-Founder, Stranger Than Fiction, says: “As Mountain drew its audience up to the highest world’s most formidable summits, so River will draw its audiences in to explore the arteries of the planet.

“This is not a traditional theatrical documentary. The phenomenal global success of Mountain shows that audiences worldwide have a huge appetite for a different kind of experience. Its union of image, music and sparse, poetic script will ensure that River is both dream-like and powerful.”

Richard Tognetti, Artistic Director, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Composer and Musical Director, River, adds “I’m delighted to be working once again with Jennifer Peedom and the team at Stranger Than Fiction Films. Through the power of film and music, River brings a heightened awareness to the vulnerability and beauty of our ‘world’s arteries’ and awakens a new and unique reverence and respect for their intrinsic value.”

Jo-anne McGowan, Producer and Co-Founder, Stranger Than Fiction, adds: “Rivers have shaped all our landscapes and our journeys. We dam rivers for power, plunder them for wealth - and we turn to them for solace and sacredness. Our ability to shape planetary processes is now of such power and consequence that it will leave a legacy for millions of years to come. So, the story of River is at once ancient and urgent, as the human race continues to make its mark.”

Bernadine Lim, Head of Documentary at Screen Australia, said: “We are proud to fund this documentary from an award-winning team which will take audiences on a breathtaking journey across six continents, exploring and celebrating rivers here in Australia and around the world. I have no doubt River is set to be another landmark cinema experience.”

Kalita Corrigan, Executive Producer for ABC Arts, said: “An exquisite film, River is also a powerful and timely reminder of our responsibility to our ancestors downstream. ABC Arts is proud to bring this cinematic experience into Australian homes.”

Mark Bell, Commissioner for BBC Arts, adds: “Rivers traverse landscape and history, unfolding multiple narratives as they journey from birth to sea. Combining awe-inspiring pictures with stirring music and telling prose – this film is a poetic meditation that provides an urgent message – to cherish and admire these natural wonders. We are thrilled that BBC Arts is able to bring this to the screen.”

River is a collaboration with leading UK factual producer Arrow Pictures. It sees John Smithson, its Creative Director, reunited with Peedom for the first time since multi-award-winning Sherpa. This 2015 film was critically acclaimed on the international festival circuit, including Telluride, Toronto and London Film festivals, winning multiple awards including the Grierson Award for Best Documentary at the BFI London Film Festival, the Australian Film Critics Circle Award, the Australian Directors Guild Award, several audience awards and a BAFTA nomination in 2016.

John Smithson, Producer and Creative Director, Arrow Pictures, adds: “This film is an exciting hybrid, with brilliant images, powerful music and elegant words which combine to say something profound about the human race’s impact on the planet. It’s a stimulating creative challenge and it’s great to be collaborating again with one of Australia’s top directors.”

River is produced by Stranger Than Fiction in association with Arrow Pictures. It has received major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Screen NSW. Directed by Jennifer Peedom and Joseph Nizeti, it is produced by Jo-anne McGowan, Jennifer Peedom and John Smithson. River, a collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, is a co-production with the Australian broadcaster ABC, the BBC and distributors Dogwoof and Madman Entertainment. The project was commissioned by Miranda Culley for the ABC, Executive Producer for the ABC Arts is Kalita Corrigan. The Commissioning Editor at BBC Arts is Mark Bell. River is distributed internationally by Dogwoof and by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand.

According to Arrow Pictures website, River is 75 minutes duration.

Airborne Attack

Monday 5 April at 9.30pm

In March 2020 cities around the world fell silent. Empty streets echoed the return of a familiar (but forgotten) foe: a highly infectious respiratory virus for which there was no known cure. Airborne Attack is a gripping science thriller that reminds us that COVID-19 is just one in a series of deadly respiratory outbreaks that have wreaked havoc over the last 100 years. This illuminating one-hour episode uncovers vital clues from past outbreaks that can help us when the next deadly virus attacks.

This first episode in the Invisible Wars series, features specialists from the World Health Organization, as well as leading virologists, microbiologists and doctors based in the UK, Australia, Hong Kong and the USA.

These experts remind us that although COVID-19 has changed our world forever, this outbreak is nothing new. In fact, a hundred years ago a new strain of flu spilt-over from animals to humans with devastating consequences. It infected an astonishing one-third of the world’s population and killed over 50 million people. Airborne Attack shines a light on the fascinating parallels between the measures taken to combat Spanish Influenza and those used to fight a pandemic 100 years later.

By tracking respiratory outbreaks over time, this episode brings to life the enormous impact that seasonal influenza, Bird Flu and SARS have had on the globe. Airborne Attack charts the scientific breakthroughs that have kept our world safe when respiratory viruses have threatened our way of life.

Episode 2: Creatures of Contagion

Monday 12 April at 9.30pm

In late 2019, near Wuhan, China, a novel coronavirus jumped from an animal to humans. This event would spark the most disastrous pandemic in 100 years. Creatures of Contagion is an illuminating science documentary that shines a light on the close connection between animal and human health.

This one-hour episode takes a closer look at “spill-over” events, revealing that seventy-five per cent of new diseases are zoonotic, meaning they originate in animals. Many of these viruses include the deadliest microbes that have ever attacked humanity.

Creatures of Contagion tells the stories of scientists, doctors and public health experts as they’ve fought back against these deadly enemies by inventing miracle treatments and devising radical solutions that have saved millions. This emotionally gripping episode features scientists and doctors working at the frontlines to combat Zoonotic viruses such as Ebola, HIV, dengue and Zika.

Associate Professor Kamalini Lokuge paints a vivid picture of what it was like fighting Ebola in the 2014 West African Outbreak. She describes her work as a contact tracer, facing a virus that has the power to kill 90% of those it infects. Dr. Davey Smith, reveals what it was like as a gay-doctor in San Diego in the 90s treating patients infected with HIV. He describes the emotional experience of finally having access to ‘miracle’ drugs to treat his patients who he says “were just like me”. Finally, Professor Scott O’Neill explains how his ingenious disease-fighting mosquitoes are drastically reducing the destructive Dengue and Zika viruses around the world.
