Following its triumphant release and five sold out screenings in New York at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, the new theatrical version of THE BURNING SEASON is coming to Australian cinema.
Following a screening of The Burning Season on Tuesday 28 April at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, a question and answer session was hosted by Ira Flatow, author and host of NPR’s Science Friday. Producer/director/writer Cathy Henkel was joined on the panel by Dorjee Sun and New York Times environmental correspondent Elisabeth Rosenthal.
As "The Burning Season" goes from strength to strength at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, we're pleased to share a couple of pictures with you from (our narrator) Hugh Jackman's recent appearance at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on the 'Walk of Fame' on Hollywood Boulevard in LA.
Hugh was there to participate in a classic Hollywood tradition: putting his hand and footprints into a slab of concrete to be displayed outside the landmark cinema. Many of his supporters were in attendance, including the media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno, and Hugh's beautiful wife Deborra-Lee and children Oscar and Ava.
Hugh's new X-Men film, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" opens on May 1.
The Burning Season's producer/director/writer Cathy Henkel was one of a hand picked selection of filmmakers to participate in the opening press conference for the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. Here she is (second from left) pictured on stage with some of the festival's heavy weights, including Robert De Niro and Uma Thurman.
Ahead of the world premiere of the feature-length cinema version of The Burning Season this Saturday night at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, the new cinema trailer has just been released online.
