Waiting for the Resistance
Combining elements of fiction, history, reportage and analysis, Sylvia Lawson examines the way the spirit of wartime resistance resurfaced in Paris in the insurrection of May 1968, when a rare unity of intellectuals and industrial workers woke a complacent society. She chronicles moments of resistance: the story of intrepid Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who was murdered for her opposition to the Russian oppression of Chechnya; the highly contentious Northern Territory Intervention and Aboriginal dispossession; East Timorese and West Papuan resistance to Indonesian domination. Resistance is about more than protest in the streets; it's about writing and art-making, music and filming, and not least about the way ordinary people keep going. As the Arab Spring unfolds and the Occupy Wall Street initiative has spread round the world, a resistant tradition has been actively inherited: the right to protest and rebel against greed and injustice, to claim public space, to recreate the active, convivial city.

The Back of Beyond
The Back of Beyond celebrates the life and times of Australias best known outback mail man Tom Kruse MBE.

Representing the complex interrelations of the multicultural commmunity and their environs, the film is considered by many to be one of Australias premier films, and is an exemplary represenation of 1950s Australian transformational culture.
