“Cox, the idiosyncratic director of Lonely Hearts, Man of Flowers and other odd treasures, doesn’t make movies, just little miracles”. Rita Kempley, Washington Post.
Born in Holland and now settled in Melbourne, Paul Cox is both an auteur of international acclaim and one of the most prolific filmmakers in Australia today. This free public conference will draw together actors, choreographers, filmmakers, writers and visual artists who have collaborated with him over the past four decades.
Presentations will be given by Asher Bilu, Julia Blake, Sister Veronica Brady, Paul Carter, John Clarke, Lily Coates, James Currie, Paul Grabowsky, Jonathon auf der Heide, Rodney Hall, Chris Haywood, Wendy Hughes, Ian Jones, Tony Llewellyn-Jones, Natalie Miller, Bruce Myles, Tom Ryan, Delia Silvan, Philip Tyndall, Nassiem Valamanesh and David Wenham. The conference also includes screenings of early Paul Cox films.
