Madman adds Adelaide and Hobart to Hail Q&A screenings
Madman Entertainment has added Adelaide and Hobart to its limited run of Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s Hail.
The announcement:
Madman Entertainment is proud to announce that the theatrical release of “Hail”, the acclaimed drama by Melbourne-based Amiel Courtin-Wilson, will expand to include Adelaide and Hobart, with more screens to be added in additional cities.
Initially slated for a Melbourne and Sydney release, the demand for “Hail” has grown based upon wide critical acclaim following its film festival screenings nationally and internationally. The Monthly’s Adrian Martin reviewed it under the banner, “The Best of Australian Film 2012”.
The first Australian feature to be screened at the Venice International Festival in ten years and winner of The Age Critics Award for Best Australian Feature at the 2012 Melbourne International Film Festival, “Hail” draws on the life experiences of ex-criminal and jail cell philosopher, Danny P. Jones, who stars in the film as himself, along with his real-life partner, Leanne Letch.
Written, directed and co-produced by Amiel Courtin-Wilson (Bastardy), it is a searing, intimate story of love, loss and chaos; a visionary maelstrom of mesmeric power that will take your breath away.
