According to Programming Director Peter Castaldi, one of the aims behind the inaugural Australian Film Festival was to expose audiences to Australian films they may not have heard about or did not know existed. Indeed, if one looks at this year's line-up, which includes hard-hitting gritty pictures, romantic comedies and genre pieces, you may be surprised to learn that they are all Australian films. We recently caught up with two of the filmmakers behind two very different films set to screen at the festival. Megan Doneman's documentary Yes Madam, Sir tells the ‘David and Goliath' story of Kiran Bedi, India's first female police officer and a revolutionary figure who has defied the odds to affect change in a centuries old world.
