Retrospective

The SFF 2013 Retrospective includes a restored Australian classic, an
iconic Hitchcock thriller and a specially curated program of British noir.
Rear Window | 1954 | USA | Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Wrong Side of the Road | 1981 | Australia | Director:
Ned Lander

Brit Noir: Rainy Sundays, Stormy Mondays

Presented in
collaboration with the National Film and Sound Archives of Australia, this
collection rewrites the rulebook of British cinema history. There are also
many fascinating Australian connections to be unearthed from this
subterranean collection. A slow-burning social revolt against the
conservative routines of the British way of life, these gritty, dark and
compelling films are a very different kind of noir, featuring famous faces
like Peter Sellers, Richard Attenborough and Diana Dors playing completely
against type. The results are shocking, engrossing and totally unexpected.

Focus on Austria

It has been a big year for Austrian film. Michael Haneke’s Amour (SFF
2012) won both the Palme d’Or at Cannes and the Oscar® for Best Foreign
Language Film. Ulrich Seidl’s Paradise trilogy achieved the rare feat of
playing in competition at the three major festivals: Cannes, Venice and
Berlin. Through this Focus on Austria, we pay tribute to these masters and
their colleagues, their films and their methods, to the beautiful city of
Vienna, and to the next generation of filmmakers.
