Talking Pictures - Do the Right Thing? The Cult of the Antihero
Co-presented with the Australian Writers' Guild
Why are audiences increasingly drawn to those who do bad (or, at least, less than good) onscreen? Screenwriter Mac Gudgeon (Last Ride) investigates the conflicted lure of the antihero in film and TV with directors Matt Saville (Felony, MIFF 2014; Noise) and Maxim Pozdorovkin (The Notorious Mr Bout, MIFF 2014), John Jarratt (Wolf Creek), and Peter Gawler (writer, Underbelly).
