The third film from visionary Australian director Baz Luhrmann, MOULIN ROUGE!, is a hyper-stylized, dramatic and romp that turns the conventions of the musical genre onto its (glittering) head by mixing a period romance with anachronistic dialogue and songs, reminiscent of the approach he utilized (with great success) in ROMEO+JULIET.

Mother of All Shows (Filmmakers in Attendance for Q&A)

Starring Wendie Malick (Shrinking, Hot in Cleveland, Just Shoot Me), MOTHER OF ALL SHOWS is a mother/daughter musical traumedy where a daughter’s coping mechanism for unresolved familial issues takes centre stage as she retreats into a 70s variety show in her imagination, hosted by her domineering mother, played by Malick.
