Talk:Philippe Mora

This article is nothing but self promotion

Title says it all. This person does note require such an enormously long article. It's a total self promotion! Issues like this greatly depreciate the value of Wikipedia.

I moved the following to the Mirka Mora article, as it details events before Philippe's birth, and didn't really seem at home here, but I've pasted the passage I removed below in case there is any dispute:

"The Mora family also owned and operated three of Melbourne’s most famous cafés. The Mirka Café was opened in December 1954 at 183 Exhibition St and was the venue for the first major solo exhibition by Joy Hester. It was followed by the Café Balzac at 62 Wellington Pde, East Melbourne and then by the Tolarno in Fitzroy St, St Kilda, which opened in 1966. All three were focal points for Melbourne's bohemian subculture.

Georges and Mirka became close friends and colleagues of many leading names of Australian arts and letters. "Very few of this crowd had any money then," Philippe recalls, "and my parents literally fed artists at our home and in our restaurants." As a result, their three sons had what Philippe describes as "a culturally privileged childhood".

The Mora family's social circle included many Australian artists who subsequently became world-famous -- Ian Sime, Charles Blackman and Barbara Blackman, Fred Williams, John Perceval and Mary Perceval, Albert Tucker, Barrett Reid, Laurence Hope, Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan and Joy Hester. The Mora family were especially close friends with renowned art patrons John and Sunday Reed, and spent many weekends at their famous home and artists’ colony, "Heide" (now the Heide Museum of Modern Art) in the outer Melbourne suburb of Heidelberg, and at the Reed's beach house in Aspendale."

Distribution of Australian films in the USA

I am not certain whether "Mad Dog Morgan" was the first Australian film to be widely distributed in the USA

could someone check whether any other of the 1970s renaissance films predated Mad Dog Morgan

Also the WW2 documentary Kokoda Frontline which won an Oscar would have been seen widely in the US in the 1940s

The Surrealist

Focussing on Salvador Dali. Here, here, and here, for example. It's been in the works since at least as far back as 2011, apparently. Did it ever happen or is it still in production? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:47, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
