David and Margaret outside GoMA. LOLZLast Saturday I saw David Stratton (that bearded movie guy on those loser channels) receive the Chauvel Award at the Brisbane International Film Festival. But the unreal thing about it was that he was interviewed by Margaret Pomeranz. haha. It was David and Margaret: the live show. Fucking cool.
It was held in a movie theatre at the Gallery of Modern Art. The occasion started off with tributes to David playing on the movie screen, with David watching them. Among those thanking him were Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. After that David and Margaret took the stage. Margaret on the left, David on the right, as usual. She asked him about his past and how he got to where he is today. Then the audience was allowed to ask David questions. That bit was definitely the highlight. He talked about Michael Moore, Dancer in the Dark, how he's been sued, and the first movie he saw when he was 8.
I bootlegged the entire thing. Here's a funny story David told about his first trip to the Venice Film Festival in 1966. It's got an incredible ending.
I'll upload more if I can be bothered.
I also saw Margaret having a fag outside the State Library. Trippy shit.
