In this highly engaging visual presentation, legendary Australian film
director, Brian Trenchard-Smith, will provide personal anecdotes revolving
around his love and approach to genre cinema, pulling from key examples
over his 50-year career. Deconstructing his films and breaking down his
craft, you will hear actionable advice on filming and his filmmaking
process. As a self-declared raconteur, Brian will enlighten us with his
industry insights, humour, and personal stories about his many early
Australian cult films — *The Man From Hong Kong* (1975), *Turkey Shoot*
(1982), *BMX Bandits* (1983), *Dead End Drive-in* (1986) — and broader
filmmaking experiences, that has seen him relocate to Hollywood. With a
reputation for large-scale movies on small-scale budgets, many of which
display a quirky sense of humour, this presentation promises to be an
equally entertaining and inspiring celebration of one of the industry’s
true survivors, a filmmaker that Quentin Tarantino has named as one of his
favourite directors.
