Two of Australia’s most successful producers have been revealed as speakers at next month’s Spaa Conference in Sydney.
Emile Sherman, Oscar winning producer of The King’s Speech, and Nelson Woss, producer of current local box office hit Red Dog will both speak at the Screen Producers Association of Australia event which takes place from November 13 to 16.
Sherman and Woss will take place in an “on the couch” session at the conference.
As well as The King’s Speech, Sherman’s credits have included Disgrace, Candy and Rabbit Proof Fence. He co-founded See-Saw Films in 2008 which in turn created film finance company Fulcrum Media Finance. A Sherman is also a director of Australasian distribution company Transmission Films.
Red Dog has now moved into the top ten local films at the Australian box office. Woss was also behind the film Ned Kelly.
More details are available on the conference website.

The Australian share of the box office has fallen to approximately 1.3 per cent over the first five months of the year, despite a sharp drop in total box office returns. That proportion is less than one-third of the 4.5 per cent Australian box office share over the first five months of 2010 when five films had already grossed more than $2 million each (Bran Nue Dae, The Kings of Mykonos: Wog Boy 2, Beneath Hill 60, Daybreakers and Bright Star) to push the total to $21.32 million. This year opened strongly for Australian films with the James Cameron-backed Sanctum grossing almost $3.84 million. However, films such as A Heartbeat Away and Wasted on the Young underperformed, pushing the total to just $5.63 million. Over the first five months of 2010, the total box office reached...

Last February, Sherman became the first Australian producer to receive an Academy Award for Best Picture, alongside his See-Saw Films partner Iain Canning, and Bedlam Productions’ Gareth Unwin. It also won at the BAFTAs and the Producers Guild of America, in addition to the many other honours for its cast and crew.
While technically a UK production, the Australianness of the film is undeniable – and so is its success; with a modest U$15m budget, The King’s Speech has grossed more than $405m worldwide – one of the most successful independent films of all time.
Although See-Saw is becoming an increasingly international company, Sherman is not about to pack his things and pursue the Hollywood dream. He’s staying here, and he’s lobbying for a healthier industry; with his Oscar in hand, Sherman headed to Canberra to meet Julia Gillard at Parliament House. It wasn’t just a great...

Paramount Pictures and Transmission Films have renewed their distribution pact for Australia and New Zealand, following their Oscar success this week with The King’s Speech.
“It has been an incredibly rewarding three years working with Paramount and its talented team.

“The past three years have seen us handle a tremendous range of product from around the world culminating in the success of The King’s Speech. This relationship forms an essential part of our acquisition strategy and we look forward to an exciting time as we bring more great films to the Australian and New Zealand markets,” added Paramount managing director Mike Selwyn.

Our society is constantly being shaped by a constant influx of immigrants from all cultural backgrounds, and the influences they bring with them. But for a country that prides itself on its multiculturalism, there is a very limited amount of ‘ethnic’ content in the media, aimed specifically at these groups. Aravind Balasubramaniam reports.
The statistics are well known,” said audio and language content director at Sbs, Dirk Anthony. “One in four Australians is either born overseas or has parents of migrant backgrounds, so it is very important that we recognise that fact and continue to be able to communicate Australian messages in the relevant languages”.
The media landscape appears not to have evolved with this increase in migrant population and the consequent growth in demand for specialised content. When taking into consideration the early identification
of the Hispanic population in the U.S as a potential market, Australia’s reaction...

According to Screen Australia’s box office report for 2010, 41 Australian films were released during the year, earning $50.6m or 4.5 percent of the total box office – a drop from last year’s 5.02 percent.
The top grossing film was Tomorrow, When the War Began, with $13.5m (down from last year’s Mao’s Last Dancer and its $15m). Nine projects grossed more than $2m each, for the first time in more than a decade.
“We saw films for all ages and tastes. It’s not easy to get the balance right but with special effects–laden action and animated adventure films through to comedy and crime in our top five I believe in 2010 the industry did,” said CEO Ruth Harley.
The 403 films released in Australia in 2010 grossed $1.13 billion, breaking last year’s box office record. Overall, the highest grossing film was Avatar, with more than $75m (for a total of $114m), followed...

Encore was asked by Matt Riviera to provide its list of the Top 10 films released theatrically in Australia in 2010 and, even though our specialty as a publication is local productions, it was a pleasant surprise to look at our final list and see two Australian films (and one with a considerable amount of Aussie talent) that deserved a spot in it. It wasn’t a pat on the back for the local industry, but a genuine recognition of the power of their stories and the skill of its execution.
The public is slowly starting to recognise it too; the top 10 highest grossing Australian films of 2010 made $45m at the box office, a figure that has brought optimism to an industry in desperate need of reassurance from the audience it serves.
This is the list Encore has contributed – and probably the only one topped by Toy Story 3, as animated films...

When you have an $11.4m comedy in your hands, a sequel is a no-brainer, even if it takes 10 years to make it happen. Miguel Gonzalez met with the creators of The Kings of Mykonos and discussed why ‘ethnic’ content is the secret to domestic and international success.
Five years ago actor/writer/producer Nick Giannopoulos started developing a story about a couple of Australians with a Mediterranean background going back to their ancestral homeland for the first time, only to discover that it is no longer the same place their parents left, and that they are, in fact, more Australian than they ever thought they were.
“It’s an Australian fish-out-of-the-water comedy, shot in Greece yet uniquely Australian. That’s why Crocodile Dundee worked; these are western suburbs Melbourne boys plonked into the middle of one of the most cosmopolitan islands in the world, with their thongs and broad Australian accents,...
