WANTED: REVIEW WRITERS FOR SEMESTER TWO 2014
................................................................
Do you like movies? Do you like writing? Do you like writing about movies? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you might be interested to know that we’re currently seeking review writers for our Semester Two 2014 booklet.
All reviews will be published in our 64-page booklet that all members receive at the beginning of each semester, as well as on our website. Reviews will need to be approximately 200-250 words in length and completed over a period of 7-10 days in early June, so please only volunteer if you think you’ll have time around then to contribute.
Successful volunteers will be sent a list of films from which they can nominate the ones they’d like to write reviews for, and you’re welcome to write just one review or as many as you’d like.
Please also note that:
1. The ANU Film Group does not provide reviewers with tickets to, or a copy of, films that they have been assigned to review.
2. Unsolicited reviews will not be accepted.
So if you love movies or writing -- or both -- and are keen to contribute to the Film Group, be sure to write to us at info@anufg.org.au by SUNDAY 25 MAY.
P.S. Film suggestions also close on Sunday, so don’t forget to suggest films that you’d like to see on our upcoming programme by heading to www.anufg.org.au/suggestions

‘ESCAPE PLAN’: ARNIE AND SLY AT THE FILM GROUP!
................................................................
High profile films are increasingly bypassing theatrical releases in Australia and going straight to DVD/Blu-Ray due to local distributors finding it difficult to recoup their theatrical release costs.
There are countless examples, but one of the more controversial films to receive this treatment recently was ESCAPE PLAN. The prison break action flick starring Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally intended for release here late last year, but was pulled at the last minute for undisclosed reasons, much to the outrage of action fans across the country.
Fortunately, for those wanting to see two action legends team up on the big screen, the ANU Film Group is proudly putting on one of only two theatrical screenings of the film in Canberra! (The other was last week at the NFSA’s Arc Cinema)
ESCAPE PLAN screens on Friday 29 March at 9:45 PM, as the second feature following Formula 1 rivalry drama RUSH.
