The Image Makers!
This month will see the long awaited launch of our latest publication The Image Makers: A brief history of the Australian Cinematographers Society, written by Ron Windon ACS. This fantastic new 160 page A5 book will be available FREE to all members, upon membership renewal. The publishing has been made possible with the generous support from Panavision and Sony, and our thanks to both Paul Jackson and Nick Buchner. Unfortunately there has been a delay printing and distributing the book to renewing members, therefore those members who have already paid their 14/15 subscriptions, and received their new member cards from the larger branches, will separately receive their copy of 'The Image Makers: A Brief History of the ACS', in the next few weeks. We apologise for the delay and for any inconvenience..

WATCH THE TRAILER HERE Compelling and enthralling. A powerful journey. It is impossible to take your eyes off David Gulpilil.
- ABC Radio
A delicate but powerful film that functions as both a stinging depiction of marginalisation and as a salute to the career of the remarkable actor who inhabits almost every frame.
- Hollywood Reporter
Synopsis:
Renowned Director Rolf de Heer and screen legend David Gulpilil deliver an Australian cinematic masterpiece with Charlies Country, their third film collaboration following Ten Canoes and The Tracker. Awarded Best Actor, Un Certain Regard, at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, David Gulpilil crowns his career with a mesmerising performance as Charlie. Frustrated with the failures of the government intervention and the whitefella laws enforced in his remote community, Charlie takes off to live the old way. But his extraordinary journey leads him full circle, and he returns to his community a wiser man. Through the heartbreaking, humorous and ultimately hopeful story of one mans search for belonging,Charlies Country offers a deeply affecting portrait of contemporary Aboriginal Australia.

New Airport Security Rules for Mobile Devices and Lithium Batteries
Effective immediately, travellers passing through airport security may be asked to turn on any electronic or battery-powered device to prove its functionality. If the device doesnt turn on, it may be confiscated or the passenger may be denied boarding. With this in mind, its more important than ever to make sure all electronic devices are fully charged before leaving home and travellers dont run the battery flat while in transit or onboard the aircraft. All of these items must also be carried in hand-luggage only. Please view full details via the link below
