On the closing night of the Australian International Movie Convention, a special Gala Celebration and Awards Nights was held, which celebrated the achievements of the film industry via the presentation of a clutch of awards. The Male Star of Tomorrow Award was presented to Lincoln Lewis by Anthony Lapaglia, who is currently on the Gold Coast shooting the P.J. Hogan-directed drama Mental. After leaving Home and Away, Lincoln Lewis landed himself the role of Kevin Holmes in Stuart Beattie's adaptation of Tomorrow, When The War Began. He also quietly impressed with his performance alongside Guy Pearce and Claudia Karvan in 33 Postcards, which received a warm reception when it played at the Sydney Film Festival and is set to be released here later this year.

Take a deep breath, ready the epidurals and let Jan Jarventaus take you on a journey of rebirth at the movies
At home or hospitalised? With drugs or without? At the movies, there are as many types of rebirth as there are regular birth. There's the fundamental lifestyle shift, where a finely-balanced existence is toppled by tumultuous events. There's a swing to the opposite end of the character spectrum triggered by a grand moment of catharsis. And there's that exhilarating moment when a slate is wiped clean and life can begin anew.
It's an irresistible plot; the perennial New Year's resolution at last made good. It's inspirational and aspirational all at once: we're cleansed of our accumulated dreck and begin again pure, whether righteous avenging angels or unworldly ascetics. So, even thought it's frequently lost in classification among the seven basic plots, rebirth remains one of the most universally resonant.

Put your best foot forward as we take a stroll round the best doors on film with Kevin Holmes. After you …
Few bits of furniture are so rich in symbolic meaning as the door: it can be an opening or an exit, a beginning or an ending. It can protect and guard but also trap and imprison. It holds promise or danger, and often both. And, of course, cinema itself is a doorway, a threshold to another world where anything is possible.
An open door is an invitation, but once you walk through it your life can change forever. Take Karen in Goodfellas entering the Copacabana nightclub; she isn't just entering the club, but Henry's life too – it's a classic portal.
As well as an opening doors can also be a barrier; a divider between home and the world. Hidden behind a locked door can lurk something nasty, something terrifying; an alien presence,...
