Screen Australia presents Newcastle on the Regional Digital Screen Network

November 2008

Summer is here! After its debut world premiere at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival, New York, and a sell-out Australian premiere at the Sydney Film Festival, Newcastle takes centre stage on the Regional Digital Screen Network, Wednesday 5 November and at The Regent Theatre in Yarram, Sunday 9 November.

Set in the coastal city of Newcastle (NSW, Australia) this action drama is a coming-of-age tale of elusive dreams and the eternal wave. Newcastle is an exhilarating new film and features a brilliant ensemble cast including Anthony Hayes (The Square, Suburban Mayhem), Joy Smithers (All Saints, Home and Away, Water Rats) and Barry Otto (Australia, The Secret Life of Us).

"Surf films, like Westerns, are experiencing a renaissance. The best of the lot are unquestionably from Australia, and Newcastle is no exception. Newcastle is about the joy and fragility of adolescence." **** TIMEOUT NEW YORK
