Mao's Last Dancer, part of the Australian Film "Feast"

Todays SMH article by Garry Maddox is a great summary of all the Australian films coming out during the next 12 months.

I really enjoyed working with Bruce Beresford again on Mao's Last Dancer and was wrapped that Scott Hicks also made it to the "notable directors" list. We had a great time when I worked with him on "Down The Wind" when we were both starting out in 1975.

"Three notable directors are returning with highly touted Australian films (or co-productions) - Jane Campion with Bright Star, about the romance between the poet John Keats and his mistress Fanny Brawne, Bruce Beresford with Mao's Last Dancer, based on the bestselling memoir by the Chinese dancer Li Cunxin, and Scott Hicks with The Boys Are Back In Town, a drama with Clive Owen as a single father."
