Mais aussi Peter Weir et Philip Glass
For film-maker Scott Hicks, who was born in Uganda and grew up in Kenya and Britain before moving to Australia at the age of 14, the discoveries of explorer Sir Richard Burton were particularly inspiring.
"He is a man of many ideas in terms of his historical thinking and his insatiable appetite for knowledge," Hicks said.
He has collected several books written and originally owned by Burton, who also spoke 29 languages and was known for his exploration across Asia and Africa in the 19th century. "I've always admired his uncompromising determination," he said.
Hicks, whose latest movie - No Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones - opens on August 16, also listed musician and composer Philip Glass and fellow Australian film director Peter Weir as men who inspired him.
7ème Partie: Picturalité et réel
Les témoignages oraux sont une source importante pour la reconstitution de l'Histoire à l'écran, ainsi que tout ce qui concerne la documentation écrite externe, mais la photographie est aussi un élément à prendre en compte pour tous sujets liés à l'Histoire contemporaine. Ici la référence iconographique est on ne peut plus inévitable à analyser. Les appareils photos ayant été interdits aux Américano-japonais envoyés dans les divers camps, les témoignages par images viennent d'appareils introduits frauduleusement ou de campagnes photographiques commandées par la WRA à des photographes célèbres de l'époque, et dont les résultats sont par là même à commenter et critiquer très minutieusement. Mais le fait est que ce sont ces images sur lesquelles les cinéastes doivent essentiellement s'appuyer pour ce qui concerne picturalement les représentations mémorielles de l'évènement.
A PLANNED Australian independent film looks like it will achieve the nearly impossible task of selling US distribution rights to a major studio before a single frame of film has passed through the camera.
The producers of The Boys are Back in Town, the first film to be shot in Australia by director Scott Hicks since he made Shine, are known to be in negotiations with Miramax, although they will not confirm it.
The distribution powerhouse owned by the Walt Disney Company was established by Bob and Harvey Weinstein.
The Boys are Back in Town is a drama adapted by Allan Cubitt from British author Simon Carr's memoir about a sports writer who, in tragic circumstances, becomes a single parent of two boys from different marriages.
Adelaide-based Hicks has cast Clive Owen as the father and most of the Australian-British co-production will be filmed in Queensland from early next year. Only a small component will be shot in Britain.
Owen was recently seen in Australian cinemas in Children of Men and will appear opposite Cate Blanchett in the upcoming The Golden Age.
Local producer Tim White is working on The Boys are Back in Town with British producer Greg Brenman from Tiger Aspect, a big British television production house that also made the feature Billy Elliot.
BBC Films and Film Finance Corporation Australia have contributed finance.
WHILE the name is familiar, it's the art that's a little different. Jett Hicks, son of film maker Scott Hicks, is carving a career in music, and plays in Adelaide tonight.
Jett, 23, was born and bred in Adelaide, but after studying and playing music locally, decided to head to the U.S. to try his luck.
"I saw (the musicians) there are a whole other standard," he says. "I thought 'this is the place I have to be. I have to come and learn from these people'."
So impressed by these musos, Jett, right, moved to California.
"They invented blues, jazz, rock, and Motown - it's in their blood, so I've lived and studied there for the last two years," he says.
While Jett's been playing in the U.S., he rubbed shoulders with many well-known rockers.
He was hired by the band Scott and Amy, featuring Scott Russo from Unwritten Law, been the house band at the infamous Viper Room nightclub and recorded and played with Eric Kretz from Stone Temple Pilots, Tommy Lee, Kid Rock and actors Pamela Anderson and Jeremy Piven.
When the chance came up to come home and play with mates in the band Mayfield, Jett couldn't resist.
"They'd recorded a new album, sent me a copy, and when I heard it I was blown away," he says.
Jett plays bass, as well as co managing and co writing songs.
"I'm back here for two weeks then we'll tour the UK and Europe for four months, have a month off, then it's the U.S. for a month," he says.
"We're three equals, all playing music we love."
Jett says dad Scott and mother Kerry Heysen have been terrific help along the way.
"They've set an amazing example," he says.
"From early on they said: 'If you do what you love and you make no money - you're still doing what you love - you're still being fulfilled'." Mayfield play the Cavern Club, in the
Station Arcade in the city tonight. Doors open at 8pm.
