We Are Still Here is a unique Indigenous film that interweaves eight powerful tales to tell a sweeping story of hope and survival.
Through the eyes of eight protagonists, We Are Still Here traverses 1000 years from past, present, and future to explore stories of kinship, loss, grief, and resilience. But ultimately, it shows the strength of love and hope to overcome shared traumas that Indigenous people from Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific have continued to face.
Writers include Dena Curtis (Rebel with a Cause, Firebite), Richard Curtis, Mario Gaoa, Danielle MacLean (Little J & Big Cuz, True Colours, Barrumbi Kids), Miki Magasiva, Renae Maihi, Samuel Paynter (Thalu), Tiraroa Reweti, Tracey Rigney and Tim Worral.

Some of the titles NITV air are both extraordinary and perplexing. Do they ever promote them, let alone the channel more broadly?
I get the feeling they’re more just ‘fillers’ (I recall a social media comment a few years back from the former channel manager/programmer saying similar) and maybe to maximise value from licencing agreements, especially being a low rating public network. Also it could be so it’s not a detriment to the established and popular/solid rating SBS World Movies.
Thursday 30 October. Sydney/Melbourne 4:25 AM, Brisbane 3:25 AM, Adelaide 3:55 AM, Perth 1:25 AM.
The movie Foxtel Movies Life has selected to farewell viewers, concluding its mission as gap filler until a suitable replacement is found.
(Sounds like KIIS somewhere.)
Then in the morning, PULP commences further up the dial. Flick over… if you dare.
huh?

I was referring to NITV, the channel, more broadly. Where they have regularly been showing mainstream Hollywood films around 9:30pm on the channel, yet who would be watching.

I am assuming that some people just don’t know that this channel has main stream movies from time to time.
There are some hidden gems on NITV.

As I alluded to earlier, I believe it’s a licencing tactic, where they’ve been aired on main channel, World Movies or Viceland and/or for On Demand and they’re getting an ‘encore’ on NITV and to cover some of the little watched channel’s timeslots.

Doing some digging and found that PULP launched on Foxtel ch. 415 at 6am AEDT today.
This is its first ever movie, living up to the “watch at own risk” claim for… about two hours.
And in primetime… (also AEDT; MA15+ unless otherwise indicated)
6.50 Police Story (M)
8.30 Memento
10.25 Under The Silver Lake
12.40 What Lies Below (M)
2.05 New Life
3.30 Prisoners of the Ghostland

How badly was DHWAV cut for an 8pm start?

Just 3 horror films on FTA tonight for Halloween, pretty lame TBH. And all on the same channel (9Go) and regularly repeated. Addams Family, Beetlejuice and a first run Candyman remake late. Also The Thing at nearly midnight on 7mate. I guess you could include The Meg on Channel 9, it’s scary at times, but hardly horror.
I don’t think it was nor would need to be? It’s rated M and those features can air after 7:30pm since the end of 2019.

Wasn’t 10 Comedy showing Ghost tonight?

It’s categorized romance/thriller though, so not really.

I remember HOW edited it was in the 90s and 00s!! Even seeing the original get edited to shreds lots of sequences cut making the film jarring to watch. The decisions back then, I’d have just edited the language by muting the word rather than chopping out the sentences of dialogue.
Another aspect that surprised me was how long some networks kept the old master tapes of certain films when newer ones surely could have been made available ? Channel 10 kept the older version of Ghostbusters (complete with the pan and scan screen ratio) for so long, it was crazy.
