Revelation Film Festival – Day Eleven

Revelation Perth International Film Festival – Day Eleven Nude Study / Closing Night  “Oh Rev. Rev! Where will I go? What will I do?” It was a little hard not to feel like Scarlett O’Hara as the 13th Revelation Perth International Film Festival drew to a close. We had just been treated to eleven days […]

Revelation Film Festival – Day Ten

Revelation Perth International Film Festival – Day Ten Wheedle’s Groove There was still plenty of action to be found at The Astor on the second last day of the 13th Revelation Perth International Film Festival – but sadly, I was unable to spend the whole day immersed in it. Partly because I’d already seen a […]

Revelation Film Festival – Day Nine

Revelation Perth International Film Festival – Day Nine Bomb It / The Loved Ones Rev 13 may be speeding towards its (sadly inevitable) conclusion, but it’ll be damned if it finishes without a bang.

I won’t even use the excuse of having watched screeners for several of the features before the festival in preparation for interviews […]

Revelation Film Festival – Day Two

Revelation Perth International Film Festival – Day Two Dogtooth I never understood how someone could walk out half-way through a movie. I mean, you’ve already paid your money, and there is always the possibility that the film will get better. Sure, we all wanted to jump ship during the first 10 minutes of Juno, but […]

Revelation Film Festival – Day One

Revelation Perth International Film Festival – Day One Opening Night / Good Hair I’ll admit it. I was excited. And in honour of the opening night film of the 13th Revelation Film Festival, I even had my hair did. So begins our sojourn into the weird and wonderful world of underground and offbeat cinema. Rev […]
