My MIFF Program

Once again I'm preparing to brave a sore arse, stiff back, hastily-gulped meals and the chance of dreadful movies for the sake of gorging myself on cinema at this year's Melbourne International Film Festival.

Should people be trying to catch up with me in the next few weeks, look for me here:
