Starring Gary Sweet, new Australian thriller The Tumbler opens exclusively at Blue Room Cinebar in Rosalie from Thursday Sep 2. Taking place in the desert, two lost men encounter an American soldier stationed alone at a remote military base, although they may not be as lost as they first appear. Hats off to Blue Room for continuing to screen exclusive, short-run local releases.

Talented anime director Satoshi Kon has passed away at the age of 46 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Responsible for TV series Paranoia Agent and noted films Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers and Paprika, Kon was working on new feature The Dreaming Machine when he died.
