Melbourne International Film Festival: a ‘Tetris’ program

The Melbourne International Film Festival is an event not to be missed. Executive director Richard Moore told Laine Lister about the highlights.

Richard Moore is thumbing through a draft schedule for this year’s Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) with delight. The executive director is chuffed at his – and senior programmer Michelle Carey’s – ability to weave almost 300 films; including eight original strands and the best of Australian and world film all into a 17-day program.

“It is like Tetris,” he laughs.
