Distributor of Life in Movement questions the film’s ROI
The distributor of a critically acclaimed documentary about a Sydney dancer and choreographer, released today, has said he’s unsure whether he’ll get the necessary audience to make a profit on the theatrical release.
Gil Scrine, owner and manager of Antidote Films, distributor of the film Life in Movement, told Encore: “The jury is still out on whether people will come see the film.”
“It’s hard to know how the film will do. I’ve had the figure around $120,000 in mind, which would pay us back for our work and cost.”
Opening across 13 screens nationally today, Life in Movement is directed by Bryan Mason and produced and co-directed by Sophie Hyde about the life of dancer Tanya Liedtke, who died suddenly in 2007.
Incredibly disappointed this wont be showing in Perth. There is an amazing dance scene here thats growing by the year and plenty of people who would be interested seeing this movie. Quite annoyed that yet again, us here in the west miss out!!
Hi

Cheers

Go see it. A beautiful sadness, and a portrait of shattering creativity in human form.
Incredible, powerful docco but ….where is the publicity – we sat with about 7 people at Cinema Paris tonight and were moved to tears and a state of wonder and awe at such a taletn so cruelly taken from us so early – please get anyone you know to go adn see this film – I had to tell the teenagers running the cinema that it was not up on the electronic screen with the other films – they then fixed it, Louise
I am astonished ‘the powers that be’ in Perth reneged on life in movement thus robbing Western Australians the opportunity to see this movie. So many people were looking forward to it and we were all bitterly disappointed when we realised we have missed out yet again. I only hope that at some point Life in Movement may become available for purchase on DVD
