Just one more sleep till Australian filmmaker Richard Moore sets sail in his new post as director of the Melbourne International Film Festival, taking the helm from the well-respected James Hewison, who moves up as CEO of the Australian Film Institute. I'm posting this today, because it's almost tomorrow in Australia. First port of call for Richard: Toronto, where the fall film festival season kicks off next week. Earlier this year, Richard reached agreement with Film Victoria to begin development of his latest project, THE FOUNDATION, a mock documentary celebrating the life and art of the fictitious character Johann Dieter Wassmann. We look forward to his next visit to Leipzig and do hope he has a chance to include the Leipzig International Documentary Festival among his many travels (30 October - 5 November 2006; see link).
