We’re premiering the newest film in our NFSA Restores program, Jane Campion’s ‘Sweetie’, at the Melbourne International Film Festival on 23 August. Jane Campion’s strange, painful, funny, uncompromising debut feature has split audiences since its 1989 release. Genevieve Lemon was cast in the title role after Campion saw her acting the part of a child in a stage play, and the unconstrained childlikeness of Sweetie makes her savage, unpredictable and absurd performance land.

The 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games nearly ended in heartbreak for the Australian Women’s 4x100m Relay team, who had just smashed their own world record set two years prior at the 2004 Athens Olympics. After finishing the final leg, an ecstatic Libby Lenton climbed from the pool to embrace her teammates before other swimmers had completed the race. This contravention of the rules almost earned the team a disqualification, but the judges let the mistake stand and awarded them the gold medal. Th

Released in 1996, THE COOLBAROO CLUB was a documentary that explored a largely forgotten Perth venue of the same name operating from 1946 to 1962, as the brainchild of returned Indigenous WWII soldiers who turned an unassuming community hall into the only Aboriginal-run club in the entire city. This Saturday 19 August, a newly restored version of the film by the National Film and Sound Archive will premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival inside the stunning Forum Theatre.

Traditional strongman Paul Anderson – stage name 'The Mighty Apollo' or ‘Young Apollo’ – was famous in the 1940s for Superman-like feats of strength. In signature leopard-print tight shorts with belt, gladiator sandals and leather hand cuffs, the Melbourne showman drew crowds in with some impressive tricks that often placed him in great danger. In this new NFSA find from the Movietone News vault, filmed in 1949, broadcaster Jack Davey comically narrates how Apollo makes a meal of iron bars, and
