Rockabul chronicles a unique and brave story by Australian journalist / filmmaker Travis Beard who put his life on the line to show a part of Afghan culture that is rarely represented in Western Media. Rockabul digs much deeper than the news headlines about conflict in Afghanistan as it looks into the complex terrain of daily life, the real life stories and experiences of the local community and generational change. The documentary follows the birth, rise and fall of Afghan Heavy Metal Music on the front-line of one of the longest wars. It is through music that the Afghan youth find positivity, meaning and hope in a devastated nation.After 9/11 troop battles raged on the frontline of Afghanistan but the capital Kabul itself was awash with expats looking for entrepreneurial ways to spend development money offered by the Americans and their allies including Australia. The investments were to fight conflict with culture and provide foreign aid in an attempt to rebuild the decimated nation. Australian Director, Travis Beard originally went to Afghanistan to volunteer as a journalist and to teach photojournalism to the locals. While there he got the 'Afghan Bug', stumbled upon a seed of a creative scene and decided to harvest it. In doing so, he provided hope to the Afghan youth through activities such as skateboarding, graffiti and alternative music. He saw potential in the band District Unknown (DU) and took the opportunity to manage Afghanistan's first heavy metal band. Qasem, Pedram, Qais, Lemar and eventually Yosef are members of DU and are full of optimism and teenage hubris much like any other ambitious group of young men from the West. The difference is, their nation is one at war and the difficulties that they face come with extra costs and risks.The journey begins with the first shaky shots of the band discovering rock music with guidance from Travis. Rehearsals are a little different to those bands in the West may experience as the power cuts out mid recording session as bombs go off around them. As their rock personas grow and their fan base moves from the hedonistic expat party scene to hordes of music-hungry young Afghans, the band's confidence in their rebellious message comes into question. Gaining notoriety means that they become a direct target for the Taliban. They begin to wear masks in an attempt to hide their identity on stage but the attention starts to spook them as they realise that their lives are at risk. In fear, Lemar, the frontman of the band seeks refugee status in Turkey with his soon to be wife. With help from their mentor Travis, the band regroups and finds another frontman Yosuf, who gives the band a much needed boost of fresh blood after the loss of their original front man.It is with the new front man Yosuf that we see District Unknown reach international status through performances in India SAARC Festival which were covered by Rolling Stone magazine and interviews across other prestigious media platforms. Elated, the boys feel that this band is really building into something bigger than their wildest dreams. We see, that Afghanistan is having a musical renaissance of sorts as numerous bands start to sprout up. We see the positive effect this has on the entire community of Afghanistan, particularly the female community.Once back in Afghanistan the band leaves the capital's safety bubble, [fondly known as the 'Kabubble'] and beyond the wire' to the wild eastern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Travis organises their first ever concert 'beyond the wire' in a truck so that it is mobile enough to avoid attacks from the Taliban. The experiment is met with a mixture of reactions from the locals, police and religious authorities. Yosuf is arrested and the band chooses to go underground, as their country's security declines to unprecedented levels.Threats against the band increase, their flamboyant performances on stage are rapidly replaced with sombre round-table discussions about their future and their safety. Meanwhile, Travis watches as his dream of using music as a language for building a bridge between the West and Afghanistan crumbles around him. The shaky ground of Afghanistan slowly but sure opens up to reveal a vertiginous lack of foundation. We see the band members all seek refugee status to get out of Afghanistan as they see that they are no longer safe. It is a year later that a performance venue the band played at is blown up by the Taliban for 'insulting Islamic values' and to help enlist people and promote suicide bombings.The band members ultimately all end up being provided refugee status. Lemar is currently in Australia with his wife, he is a security guard at a casino in Cairns. After a twenty month visa application Qais joined his wife in Los Angeles and is studying to be an actor. Qasem, who was the last member of the band to leave Afghanistan obtained a student visa on his third attempt to study interior design in Washington, DC. On his first visa application, Joseph was successfully accepted to study computer science in Newcastle, UK. Pedram completed a Fullbright Scholarship in civil engineering, married an American girl and lives in Michigan, US.The film features never before seen footage of Kabul and the underground party scene, at odds with an extremely conservative society that chooses to turn a blind eye, so they can benefit from the flow of aid money propping up their economy.Afghanistan is known as the graveyard of empires. This film offers an honest insight into the reality of foreign policy, in a nation that has hosted and buried most of history's conquerors. It shows how hope and optimism offered a genuine escape for some Afghans, at the peak of foreign intervention, but also reveals their frustrations, because in a country like Afghanistan, nothing is guaranteed. It is a unique insight for Australian audiences into the real cost of war in a country Australia currently has troops deployed in and demonstrates the similarities and the differences of young men across cultures with hopes and dreams of rock stardom.

"Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story" is a feature-length documentary about the life and career of legendary blues musician Paul Butterfield. A white, teen-age harmonica player from Chicago's south side, Paul learned from the original black masters performing nightly in his own back yard. Muddy Waters was Paul's mentor and lifelong friend, happy to share his wisdom and expertise with such a gifted young acolyte. The interracial Paul Butterfield Blues Band, featuring the twin guitar sound of Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop, the rhythm section of Sam Lay and Jerome Arnold and the keyboards of Mark Naftalin, added a rock edge to the Chicago blues, bringing an authenticity to its sound that struck a chord with the vast white rock audience and rejuvenated world wide interest in the blues. The band's first LP, released in 1965, was named "#11 Blues Album of All Time" by Downbeat. The only artist to perform at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and Woodstock in 1969, Paul would continue to break new ground in the blues, and to stand up for racial equality, until his death at age 44 in 1987 of a drug overdose. Through his music and words, along with first-hand accounts of his family, his band mates and those closest to him, "Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story" tells the complex story of a man many call the greatest harmonica player of all time. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.—John Anderson

Jill Bilcock: Dancing The Invisible focuses on the life and work of one of the world's leading film artists, Academy Award nominated film editor Jill Bilcock. Iconic Australian films Strictly Ballroom, Muriel's Wedding, Moulin Rouge!, Red Dog, and The Dressmaker bear the unmistakable look and sensibility of Bilcock's visual inventiveness, but it was her brave editing choices in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet that changed the look of cinema the world over, inspiring one Hollywood critic to dub her editing style as that of a "Russian serial killer on crack". With a back-story as colourful and surprising as her films, and featuring commentary from Cate Blanchett, Baz Luhrmann, Shekhar Kapur, Phillip Noyce and Fred Schepisi, this documentary is a wonderful insight into the art of film editing and the profound impact it has on storytelling.

On March 5th, 2013, San Francisco's skyline was transformed by an amazing sight: 25,000 LED lights that, for perhaps the first time save the 1989 earthquake, caused people to consider the Bay Bridge instead of her iconic sister. How did this happen? Who was behind the eight-million-dollar installation? How in the world did they pull it off? The story behind the making of THE BAY LIGHTS-a project whose very "impossibility made it possible"-answers these questions, revealing the drama and the daring of artist Leo Villareal and a small team of visionaries who battle seemingly impossible challenges to turn a dream of creating the world's largest LED light sculpture into a glimmering reality.—Kathi Wheater
