Antarctic Midwinter Festival, Hobart

June 30th, 2009

Eucalypt Productions’ Stephen Curtain recently attended the Antarctic Midwinter Festival in Hobart, Tasmania on 20–21 June 2009 to screen Intrinsic. This short seven minute wildlife and landscape film, filmed over three months in the 2007–2008 season, accompanied Werner Herzog’s Academy Award nominated Encounters at the end of the World. With fellow Antarctic photographers and adventurers David Sinclair (see www.davidsinclairimages.com) and Michael Gatehouse, keep an eye out for unfolding travels in the near future to the large ice cube down south. Many thanks to Paul Cullen, festival director.

‘Winter Dreaming’ wins Italian film festival award

April 9th, 2009

Winter Dreaming: an Australian Alps freeheel film has won the Telemark category of the 2009 Livigno Film Festival in Italy. Eucalypt Productions’ director and producer Stephen Curtain is ecstatic!
The jury consisting of TV sports journalist Elisa Calcamuggi, Olympic Freestyler Simone Galli, video expert Luca Genovesi, sports journalist Stefano Vegliani and mountain photographer Mark Shapiro, awarded Winter Dreaming: an Australian Alps freeheel film the honour on Saturday 4 April 2009.
Stephen comments: Winter Dreaming is a soul project. Im blessed to have been given the opportunity to capture both the beauty and energy of the film’s characters and the Australian Alps themselves. Australia is the flattest, driest-inhabited continent on Earth. For a brief time each southern winter, our Alps transform under a mantle of white. Do yourself a favour and check ‘em out.
