In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Highly-regarded Australian actor Richard Roxburgh joins the latest episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast. To say the recording of this Podcast episode was a bit of fun would be an understatement. It’s not every day you get to shoot the breeze with an actor of Richard Roxburgh’s calibre. That was the case for me while I was attending CinefestOZ Film Festival in Busselton, Western Australia which Richard was also attending as the Jury Chair, responsible alongside other jury members for awarding the festival’s $100,000 Film Prize for Best Film. I had spoken to Richard during an Opening Night Red Carpet interview, and we also shared a bit of banter at one or two afterparties. But I really wasn’t expecting to get Richard on an episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast while I was at the festival. On the Thursday morning I received a phone call saying that Richard was at my hotel and available for a half hour interview. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity, even though I was totally unprepared as far as questions go. Regardless, I managed to get quite a lot out Richard during our interview. We discussed topics from his early beginnings as an actor, working with the likes of Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible II, his adoration for Baz Luhrmann, his desire to work with Warwick Thornton, his latest role in the Stan series Bali 2002, and whether he will ever direct again following his experiences on Romulus, My Father. Do I really need to introduce Richard here? Probably not, but it’s worth mentioning that Richard is one of Australian busiest and most respected actors, having graced our screens in television shows like Blue Murder, Hawke and of course Rake, and in films like Oscar and Lucinda, Mission: Impossible II, Moulin Rouge!, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Van Helsing, Looking for Grace, Hacksaw Ridge and H is for Happiness. It’s worth mentioning that this interview was recorded in a pub. The venue was open to the public and there was a lot of activity happening in the background with CinefestOZ events, coffee being poured and drinks being served so please excuse the background noise. Anyway… enjoy.
