Film Victoria has invested $350,000 on a telemovie based on the story of the two miners trapped in the Beaconsfield mine in 2006, produced by Southern Star Entertainment and set to air on Nine.
“Some of Victoria’s finest screen talent will bring this important Australian story to the screen, delivering jobs to Victoria’s screen sector. The Baillieu Government will support local production companies fostering talent and ideas and providing employment for local innovators,” said Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business Louise Asher.
Beaconsfield will be produced by John Edwards and Sarah Shaw, written by Julie McCrossin and directed by Glendyn Ivin.
The latest funding round from Film Victoria sees $2.4m supporting Beaconsfield and five other television/documentary projects:
• The Tale of Devil Island (360o Degree Films, prod. Sally Ingleton, writer/dir Andrew Sully)- wildlife biologist Nick Mooney and his team have hatched an audacious plan to save these...

Hi friends!
In one of the worst ideas I've ever heard, there will be a film adaptation of Philip Roth's 2009 novel The Humbling, which revolves around a lesbian deciding to have a sexual relationship with a much older man. Al Pacino is apparently a huge fan of the book, as he purchased the rights and is going to play the lead. Somehow I don't think anything about this is going to be good for lesbian visibility, but I'll still be interested to see who they cast as the lead lez.
Thanks to AfterEllen.com reader Vish, my idea that Sweden is full of hot gay women is now confirmed. First Mariette Hansson, now Annika Holtz, a contestant on the country's Survivor-esque reality show, Robinson. The 28-year-old has been out since she was 15 and hails from Älvsjö, a suburb of Stockholm. Also, if you can read Swedish, you can read her blog.
