Rush joins Tropfest’s Roughcut
AACTA president Geoffrey Rush has lent his weight to this year’s Tropfest Film Festival, it’s been announced today.
The actor has been named a judge of both the Tropfest short film competition and the inaugural Tropfest Roughcut Symposium, held Saturday 18 February.
Rush will join Wish You Were Here director Kieran Darcy-Smith, and Love and Other Drugs producer Charles Randolph as a speaker to the Saturday symposium.
Also on the bill is composer Lisa Gerrard and Tropfest’s 2011 runner up, Jason Van Genderen.
Rush said: “Tropfest is turning 20, that’s serious frisky adulthood – so vicenarians, please join this sexagenarian for a cinematic chat on known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns… it’s a Q and A and I’d love to hear from you.”
The day is hosted by actor/comedian Rob Carlton.
