Film Star @ DENDY Premiere
Dendy Films is pleased to announce that actor Cillian Murphy will be visiting
Australia the w/c Sept 11, ahead of the release of the highly anticipated film,
THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY (opening Sept 21).
Cillian Murphy is the lead actor in THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY and is
undoubtedly one of the world's most exciting and versatile actors. He was
nominated for a Golden Globe Award this year for his critically acclaimed
performance in Neil Jordan’s BREAKFAST ON PLUTO (which is in cinemas now), and
his genuine “cool-cred” saw him receive a nomination at the recent MTV Movie
Award for his role as the villain, Scarecrow in BATMAN RETURNS.
He’s well known for his memorable performances in the period film COLD MOUNTAIN,
cult classic 28 DAYS LATER, starred opposite Scarlet Johansson in GIRL WITH A
PEARL EARRING, and stole the show in RED EYE.
Directed by multi-award winner, Ken Loach, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY is
magnificent and unforgettable. Irish freedom fighters unite to face the ruthless
squads that are being shipped from Britain to block Ireland's bid for
independence. As their bold tactics bring the British to breaking point, both
sides finally agree to a treaty to end the bloodshed. But, despite the apparent
victory, civil war erupts and families who fought side by side find themselves
pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the
ultimate test.

PALME D'OR AWARD WINNER - CANNES FILM FESTIVAL
THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY
Release Date: 21 September, 2006
Irish freedom fighters unite to face the ruthless squads that are being shipped from Britain to block Ireland's bid for independence. As their bold tactics bring the British to breaking point, both sides finally agree to a treaty to end the bloodshed. But, despite the apparent victory, civil war erupts and families who fought side by side find themselves pitted against one another as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test.
Directed by multi-award winner, Ken Loach, THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY is magnificent and unforgettable.
------------
The film is historically-based and set in a particularly turbulent time in Ireland's history. Moreover, it's an exceptionally powerful and moving film that has strong contemporary relevance and is profoundly affecting audiences worldwide. The Wind that Shakes the Barley recently had a special screening at the Sydney Film Festival and was a complete sell out. It also received a two minute standing ovation at the Melbourne Film Festival.
We’re running a sneak preview of The Wind that Shakes the Barley on MONDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER at the Palace Verona, at 6:30pm, for which I’d love to offer you 5 double passes to give away if this would be of interest to you. Let me know what you think.
Kind regards,

Music Videos
Hey guys,
We have a Hip-Hop artist who wants a couple of music videos made for him. Below is the brief:
2 Of A Kind - 2 lovers on a tropical looking beach. The girl is
dressed Hawaiian hula style and she plays around in some waterfalls.
This is hopefully a 1 day shoot at a location I've already got, it
just needs good available light, a make-up artist, a gud
director/camera person with a tripod, some reflectors etc. Maybe some
lights. Whatever's clever.
Black Footsteps - Gritty documentary style, footage of a gig I'm
playing at Redfern with a bunch of other reggae acts and the massive
Koori flag behind us. The rap part will cut to me doing an interview
at Koori radio with one of the presenters - but I'll be rapping the
lyrics. Maybe some footage of kids playing around the area might work
to cut with it. Not much else is really needed. Can be shot in 2 days.
Please let us know if you're interested! Reply to:
unswcinesoc @ hotmail.com
Cheers!
