Brendan reviews Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron and summarises it as ‘too much of everything’. But he is most impressed with a gem from the Spanish Film Festival called Hidden Away about a friendship between a Spanish & an immigrant boy.

Special Guests today are:

Megan Patty—Publications Coordinator for the NGV describes her background and her present role. This includes working on Exhibition Catalogues with teams of people as well as Artist monographs and children’s books amongst a variety of jobs. This year NGV is running a new event—the Melbourne Art Book Fair (1 to 3 May) at NGV International in St Kilda Rd where publishers exhibit their art books and there are 40+ free public programs such as lectures, forums and Risograph print demos.

Steven Rooke is an actor who is touring Australia (Melbourne: 9 to 20 May. Victoria: 21 May to 6 June) with the Queensland Theatre Company as the title character in a play called Kelly about Ned Kelly’s final night in prison. Steven started acting in Noosa, then Sydney, was in many films and played a gay character on TV in ‘Always Greener’. Steven jumped at the chance to do this Kelly role as it is a different take on the outlaw, is very well written and runs the gamut of emotions.
