re: T.A. Opening of Aussie Film Festival

Dear Anonymous , (who sent a comment apropos- AICE Australian film Festival 2007)
Maybe because it was so crowded, we didn't see each other. We were there. It was a great change to visit Tel Aviv from Jerusalem. I was impressed by the number of Tel Aviv’s who's who, gracing the opening; made me feel like Tal Brodi after Maccabi Tel Aviv’s first European Cup win. “We’re on the map!”, as Australians in Israel that is.
Before the film we met with Susan Maslin, the artistic director of the festival and Eloise Oxer who acted in Hunt Angles, one of the festival films. How’s this for a small world? It turns out that Susan is a good friend of my old high school sweetheart, who is a successful film producer these days; and Eloise grew up in Perth (at least for a while), and even spent some of that time living on a street on the other side of my old high school.
