    Bill Mousoulis is an unsung legend of Australian independent cinema on many levels. Though many know him as an Greek-Australian independent filmmaker he is also the co-founder of several Australian film cultural institutions such as the Melbourne Super 8 Film Group (1985) and the online journal Senses of Cinema (1999). In this chat Bill also tells Steve why film co-ops remain crucial in building film collectives and why filmmakers are becoming too precious in holding their films back from public view.

    Oct 5 2025
    Steve Gaunson never had the opportunity to meet Alan Hopgood, the writer of Alvin Purple. However, with the donation of several of Alan's files to the Australian Screen Research Collection, it seemed an ideal opportunity to invite his daughter, renowned film academic Fincina Hopgood, for a discussion. She will share insights she gained about her father from reviewing his archives and how this process helped her navigate her grief after his passing.
