FATHER OF MY CHILDREN – official HD trailer – in cinemas August 26 (AUSTRALIA)

WINNER – Special Jury Prize – Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard). The superbly perceptive new drama from emerging young talent Mia Hansen-Love is a thought-provoking and deeply moving portrait of a family undergoing a dramatic rupture. Based loosely on the life of revered French producer Humbert Balsan, the film revolves around Grégoire Canvel (Louis-Do de Lencquesaing), a man who seemingly has everything: a wife he loves, three delightful children and a stimulating job. Discovering talented filmmakers and developing films that fit his conception of the cinema – free and true to life – is his raison dêtre. Grégoire devotes almost all his time and energy to his work. Except on weekends, which he spends in the country with his family – gentle interludes, precious and fragile. With his exceptional charisma, Grégoire commands admiration. He seems invincible. Yet his prestigious production company, Moon Films, is on its last legs. Despite this Grégoire ploughs on at all costs. Where will his blind obstinacy lead him? Father of My Children is both a tribute to the trials and tribulations of film-making, and a moving meditation on loss and remembrance.

What a petrol-sniffing Aboriginal boy tells us about Australia today

What a petrol-sniffing Aboriginal boy tells us about Australia today
Some people say they don’t get Warwick Thornton’s film, Samson and Delilah. And some people who say they do get it, don’t. It’s a film about an Aboriginal boy who sniffs petrol, and an Aboriginal girl who doesn’t.

TULPAN – official trailer Australia – a film by Sergey Dvortsevoy

"Life is for Living" Crazy camels, dust storms and days spent chasing wayward sheep; this is the life of a shepherd on the bleak and windswept Kazakh steppes and it is all young Asa dreams about. After completing his naval service, Asa travels back to the Hunger steppe where his sister and her shepherd husband live a nomadic life. Although eager to care for a flock of his own, Asa is told he must get married before he can become a fully-fledged shepherd. His one and only hope for marriage on the deserted steppe is Tulpan, the beautiful daughter of another shepherd family. Asa is disappointed to learn that Tulpan doesnt like him because she thinks his ears are too big, but he doesnt give up! Instead, he continues to dream of a life that may not be possible… Polished, funny and utterly charming, Kazakhstan director Sergey Dvortsevoy's first feature film tells of a family not only surviving but also relishing the harsh life of nomad shepherds on a barren landscape.

The new sex and the city flick premiereâ??s this week and we spotted good girl charlotte in this cute polka dot dress! Our maternity inspired version by Childish Clothing â?¢ comes in black or pink with white polka dots â?? a HOT price at only $76.95. Perfect worn over jeans or leggings!

We just have to mention the ever popular Seraphine Crochet Dress worn by actress Halle Berry. She looks stunning seen shopping in LA just 2 days before she gave birth. Great news is that we will be re-stocking this exact dress in all sizes mid June 08 so get in quick and snap one up before they sell out again! The empire line is ultra flattering to the bust and the dress hugs your bump whilst the skirt part is A-line and does not cling on your hips and thighs so you get a very slimming effect.

Angelina was seen buying these cute baby lovie mini security blankets for her children. Available in â??fuzzyâ?? or â??flannel polka dotsâ?? trimmed with luxurious soft satin your baby will love holding the blankie when they sleep. I have one for my little 7 month old son Koby and it never leaves his side! The size is perfect for travelling and when youâ??re on the go, and the blanket and comes in handy for little milk spills â?? so your best to grab two when one is in the wash!!

And last but not least are our BEST SELLING maternity henleyâ??s by 1 in the Oven. Famous model Heidi Klum was seen wearing her navy one shopping when pregnant late last year. Made of beautiful soft waffle weave cotton â?? many women rave about the comfy fit and buy at least 3 in their fave colours. Iâ??m still wearing my maternity ones as they are so easy to breastfeed in and look great with a tank layered underneath.
