Natalie Miller has so often been the only woman on boards, she has a t-shirt that says "Gentlemen and Natalie". So she's pleased to see the fellowship that was started in her name continue to bolster female leaders in the screen industry.

Cinemas in metro-Melbourne are able to reopen to fully vaccinated patrons tonight from 6pm, at 75 per cent capacity or up to 1,000 people. With Melbourne the most locked-down city in the world, If talks to Village Cinemas executive general manager Nic Robin and Cinema Nova joint executive director Natalie Miller about how they have fared and how they see the theatrical landscape.
If: Melbourne has obviously been through repeated lockdowns. How has that been to navigate as a business, particularly after JobKeeper ended?
Robin: The pandemic has been incredibly challenging for our industry, inclusive of the wider arts and entertainment category. Village Cinemas, like many businesses, entered into survival mode believing that the future remains bright for cinema.
Miller: When Nova came out of its first lockdown last year we celebrated with the Lord Mayor Sally Capp coming out and cutting the ribbon in our foyer. Not long after we closed again.

Producer and distributor Sue Maslin will step down as the president of the Natalie Miller Fellowship (Nmf) later this week, after guiding the organisation for 10 years.
The Dressmaker producer is among the founding members of the Nmf, with Chrissy Thomson, Annette Blonski, Jan Epstein, Jennifer Sabine, Zelda Rosenbaum and Heather Scott. In 2010, they got together informally and decided to raise funding towards an annual $10,000 fellowship named in honour of Sharmill Films and Cinema Nova founder Natalie Miller, awarded to aspirational women to pursue professional leadership.
Over the course of Maslin’s tenure as president, she has built relationships with the industry that would ultimately enable the annual fellowship to grow to $20,000. Current co-sponsors include Village Roadshow and Kojo.
Recipients of the Nmf over the years have included Rachel Okine; Harriet Pike; Rebecca Hammond; Courtney Botfield; Sasha Close; Kristy Matheson, Miriam Katsambis; Anna Kaplan; and Pauline Clague (founder and artistic director...

Clockwise from top left: Jennifer Peedom, Rachel Okine, Kyas Hepworth and Sue Maslin.
The Natalie Miller Fellowship (Nmf) organisers have appealed for more Indigenous female screen practitioners to apply for the fellowship that provides an annual $20,000 grant for leadership advancement.
Nmf president Sue Maslin lamented the small number of applicants from the Indigenous cohort in a Facebook Live session on Monday with director and Nmf ambassador Jennifer Peedom, Aquarius Films MD Rachel Okine and Nitv acting head Kyas Hepworth.
Established in 2011 to recognise the unique contribution of screen industry pioneer Natalie Miller, the Nmf is open to women with at least five years experience in any screen sector to help them reach their full leadership potential through attachments, internships, secondments and other means.
“We have not had a high level of applications yet from Indigenous women. We really want to make a focus on having Indigenous women applying,” Maslin said.

Cinema Nova.
Melbourne’s Cinema Nova, the Eddie Tamir family-owned cinemas and Village Cinemas’ Coburg drive-in will re-open next month – but indications are that most cinemas in other states are unlikely to turn on the lights until July.
Palace Cinemas will open its doors nationally on July 2, with most locations limited to three sessions a day to allow time for extra cleaning.
Among the titles it will screen are Universal’s The King of Staten Island and The High Note and Sony’s The Burnt Orange Heresy.
Cinema Nova and the Classic, Lido and Cameo Cinemas will resume trading on June 22 when the Victorian government will allow gatherings of up to 50 people.
“We will be very pleased to welcome our audience back. Nothing replaces seeing films made for theatrical release than screening in the cinema on the big screen,” Cinema Nova joint executive director Natalie Miller tells If.

Natalie Miller.
The Australian films and feature documentaries released in cinemas this year including holdovers collectively have grossed $39.7 million.
So while the calendar year total will fall short of 2018’s $57.4 million, it should be noted Peter Rabbit was the top local title last year, grossing $26.7 million, which alone could explain the year-on-year decline. Sony Pictures is due to launch Peter Rabbit 2 next March, so that is virtually certain to be a big contributor to the 2020 revenues.
As Cinema Nova has supported almost every Australian release, If asked co-executive director Natalie Miller to assess the overall commercial and critical appeal of this year’s Oz slate.
“It’s not bad but it’s not great,” says the veteran exhibitor/distributor, who gives high marks to Ride Like a Girl, Top End Wedding, Storm Boy, Palm Beach and the feature docs 2040, Mystify: Michael Hutchence and The Australian Dream.

‘Judy & Punch.’
Fox/Chernin Entertainment’s Ford v Ferrari easily retained pole position in another soft weekend at Australian cinemas while Mirrah Foulkes’ writing and directing debut Judy & Punch struggled.
Foulkes’ savage satire starring Damon Herriman and Mia Wasikowska as husband-and-wife puppeteers in an anarchic world has garnered a 79 per cent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes since the world premiere at Sundance.
But critical acclaim often doesn’t reflect cinemagoers’ tastes, particularly for niche titles which are as challenging and dark in tone as this. The Madman Entertainment release fetched $29,000 on 38 screens last weekend and $108,000 with festival screenings.
Cinema Nova’s Natalie Miller says: “I think the title is a bit of a hindrance as people don’t know if it’s a children’s film and would find it quite different and confronting, despite great acting.”
Produced by Michele Bennett, Blue-Tongue Films’ Nash Edgerton and Vice Media Australia’s Danny Gabai,...

‘The Report.’
Palace Cinemas and Cinema Nova are among the locations that are screening Transmission Films’ The Report for one week on limited sessions before the political drama starts streaming on Amazon Prime on November 29.
Those exhibitors booked the Amazon Studios production which stars Adam Driver and Annette Bening as an alternate content release, a category traditionally reserved for non-theatrical fare such as live theatre, concerts, TV programs, sports events and anime films.
Executives at both companies staunchly support the 90-day theatrical window which is being challenged by the Netflix productions The King, The Irishman, Marriage Story and The Two Popes, which are playing at some independent cinemas three weeks before each drops on Netflix.
“Subverting the window is not in the long term interest of the consumer, producer, exhibitor or distributor as it hurts everyone in the value chain that produces, distributes and exhibits films, ultimately reducing content production and that hurts the consumer,...

‘Ford v Ferrari’
It was no-contest between Fox/Chernin Entertainment’s Ford v Ferrari and Sony Pictures’ Charlie’s Angels reboot at Australian cinemas last weekend.
Paradoxically, James Mangold’s drama based on the 1966 Le Mans race between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari opened marginally below the Us but streets ahead of Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels which, however, outperformed the dismal Us bow.
Exhibitors were hoping for more from both titles. “Things are difficult in cinema land at the moment,” says Wallis Cinemas’ soon-to-depart programming manager Sasha Close. “It seems audiences might be waiting for the big Disney films, with Frozen 2 opening on November 28 and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker launching on December 19.
“Both Ford v Ferrari and Charlie’s Angels fell slightly short of our estimates. Whilst Ford v Ferrari may be propelled along for a few weeks by good word of mouth and reviews, the Charlie’s Angels reboot...

Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep.
Warner Bros cast the usually reliable Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson as the leads in Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep and pitched the film to fans of Stephen King’s 1977 novel and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic The Shining.
So what could go wrong? Almost everything, as Mike Flanagan’s $50 million horror movie adapted from King’s 2013 novel was D.O.A. in Australia, the Us and the rest of the world last weekend.
It was a blah weekend in Oz despite a lively launch for Chinese drama Better Days and solid starts by Bollywood comedy Bala and Pedro Almodóvar’s Cannes Film Festival hit Pain and Glory.
Martin Scorsese’s $150 million Netflix-financed The Irishman opened at about a dozen independent cinemas. There were reports of sold-out sessions at some locations but as exhibitors are obliged to sign NDAs, we will never know the grosses.

Today marks the end of an era in the Australian screen industry with the departures of Jo Bladen, Disney’s general manager, studios and live entertainment, and Marc Wooldridge, Fox Film Distributors MD for Australasia.
Exhibitors, distributors, filmmakers and former colleagues are lamenting the loss of two highly experienced executives resulting from the Walt Disney Company’s $US71.3 billion takeover of most of 21st Century Fox’s prized assets.
In this area of consolidation and downsizing among majors and independents alike, some question the capacity of studios to release small-to-medium budget movies without the expertise and experience of executives like Wooldridge and Bladen.
Former Paramount Pictures Australia MD Mike Selwyn observes: “The distribution/exhibition industry seems to be going through a period of real uncertainty. At the heart of this is the steady erosion of income from post-theatrical exploitation.

Miriam Katsambis, legal counsel at Entertainment One Australia/New Zealand, has been awarded the Natalie Miller Fellowship for 2018.
Katsambis has spent more than 12 years in various legal, advocacy and policy development roles across state and federal government screen agencies, guilds and industry bodies.
“Miriam has a successful background working in distribution, the Awg and a strong interest in business,” Natalie Miller said today.
“She is clearly a leader with great potential in screen industry policy and direction. Miriam was chosen from a strong field of applicants but the judging panel felt that what set her apart was that her vision to become a leader in an area of growing importance to the Australian screen industry was clear and her proposal to do the Asia Link Program was timely and strategic.”
