I went to this last week - the opening night film was 2:37. They kept everyone in suspense, didn't let us know til the last minute what the actual film was. I thought it went down pretty well. It was the last festival for the director James Hewison who seems to have inspired genuine respect and affection. Geoffrey Rush gave a lovely speech - what elocution.
The film was a bit full on, incest and the like - I mean the Premier was there - but to shy away from that and you wind up with Royal Film Command Performance stuff. Afterwards the director gave a lovely speech, took a photo of the crowd (nice touch). Went to the after party, though not really dressed for it. Saw various celebs: Bud Tingwell. several former Love My Way-ers and Secret Life of Us-ers, Mr Rush, and so on.
