  1. e-Mum Director Jess Londono on motherhood in the age of AI

    e-Mum Director Jess Londono on motherhood in the age of AI

    Filmmaker Jess Londono's short film e-Mum is a slightly satirical, completely engaging exploration on motherhood in the age of AI. Emma lives a solitary life with no partner or kids, a point of contention between her estranged mum and her. As an intrusion on Emma's life, her mum delivers an android daughter for her to look after. In Emma's eyes, this AI creation is a mere tool, something that exists to do the tasks that she has no interest in undertaking herself. Emma finds herself gaining a connection with the robot, something that's jeopardised when it goes on the blink and she's left with a human shaped ornament rather than something she can engage with. In the following interview, Jess talks about her vision as a filmmaker, where the idea of e-Mum came from, and her hopes to bring a Colombian sensibility to Australian films. This interview was recorded ahead of e-Mum's screening at the 2026 Flickerfest, and is being published ahead of the upcoming screening at the Revelation Perth International Film Festival on 12 & 14 July 2026 as part of the WA Off Kilter Shorts line-up. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

    David West on breaking cinema with the hyper independent Lint

    Lint is the first feature film from Boorloo-Perth polymath David West. It's a hyper independent West Aussie film about Iris (Melissa Coci) and Susan (Courtney Swartz), colleagues who work at an environmentally friendly dry cleaning company who conspire to bring down their sleazy boss Vincent (Tom Camp). Along the way, they get distracted by dinners with friends, tennis lessons, and more, all the while their exploits are interspersed with sultry shots of Vincent against the backdrop of sunsets. This interview with David was recorded in May 2025 after Lint screened at the WA Made Film Festival and has been sitting, waiting to be birthed into public existence ever since. What better time to release it than ahead of the VHS Tracking Presents... screening of Lint at Goolugatup on 17 June 2026 between 6:30pm - 9pm. Tickets are free and available now, so if you're around, head along and support Aussie cinema. The interview starts as you might expect: with a conversation about goats. David's Zoom profile picture was that of a goat, which spurred a discussion about how great goats are. What happens after that, well, you'll discover as you listen. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

    Miley Tunnecliffe on building tangible horror in her feature film debut Proclivitas

    West Aussie filmmaker Miley Tunnecliffe makes the shift from shorts to features with her debut feature length film Proclivitas. This familial horror-drama film features Clare (an impressive grounded performance from Rose Riley), an addict in recovery who returns to her hometown to tidy up her mother's house after her sudden death. Returning home, Clare connects with her old flame Jerry (a superb George Mason), and the two bond over an unresolved trauma from their youth. As Clare's time at home continues, the demons that plague her mind and memories start to re-emerge.  The following interview with Miley sees her talking through her process of working in comedy and then shifting to horror, the grounded nature of the film, and more.  Proclivitas recently opened the 2026 WA Made Film Festival where Miley and producer Kate Separovich were in attendance. The film opens in Australian cinemas on 19 March 2026. I'll be hosting a Q&A session at Luna Leederville on 24 March 2026 with Kate Separovich and actor Hayley McElhinney in attendance. For Perth locals, we have five double passes to giveaway for the Q&A screening. Simply email us at thecurbau@gmail.com to be in the running to get your name on the list.

  5. Sophie Hyde and Aud Mason-Hyde on the queer kaleidoscope that is their stunning film Jimpa

    Sophie Hyde and Aud Mason-Hyde on the queer kaleidoscope that is their stunning film Jimpa

    Sophie Hyde's films have often explored identity, self-realisation, and the path to finding your place in this messy, mucked up world. 52 Tuesdays sees a child growing to understand the gender transition that one of her parents is going through, while Good Luck to You, Leo Grande sees Emma Thompson's 55-year-old Nancy reclaim her sexuality. In Jimpa, Sophie's finest and most mature film yet, we follow Aud Mason-Hyde's Frances, child to Olivia Colman's Hannah and Daniel Henshall's Harry. Frances is finding their place in the world as a nonbinary queer kid, eager to push out of the restrictive boundaries of Adelaide and engage with queer culture that they feel part of and as if they can grow within. A trip to Amsterdam to meet Hannah's father, Jim (John Lithgow), has Frances feeling that his proudly gay lifestyle and advocacy for gay rights would make for a suitable place for them to spend a gap year, growing, learning, and studying.In the following interview with Sophie and Aud, we talk about that kaleidoscopic nature of the film, what it's like to grow up with a parent like Sophie Hyde, and finally, what it's like to have a story captured on screen by the stunning cinematography of Matthew Chuang. the Curb is a completely independent and ad free website that lives on the support of listeners and readers just like you.

  6. Floodland director Jordan Giusti & producer Rachel Forbes on capturing the fate of Lismore on screen

    Floodland director Jordan Giusti & producer Rachel Forbes on capturing the fate of Lismore on screen

    Filmmaker Jordan Giusti's Floodland is an impactful documentary that takes audiences to the flood-prone landscape of Lismore, NSW. Thousands of people call the region home, and yet, due to the climate crisis and government inaction, they find themselves in horrifying situations where their homes are swept away, they lose friends and family, and pets and livestock end up as collateral damage for an ongoing emergency that has no solution in sight. Resilience is a word that's used for those who call Lismore home, the flood capital of Australia, but Jordan's documentary shows that there is a way to solve this crisis. Shot with an immediacy and the level of compassion and understanding that elevates the crisis at hand, Floodland is a powerful document for the region, the people who call it home, and their future. The following interview sees Nadine Whitney, someone who lived in the region, interview Jordan and producer Rachel Forbes about making the film. This interview was recorded ahead of the films screenings at the Sydney Film Festival, and is being published now ahead of Floodland's release around Australia this week.

  8. Lucy Coleman on centering fearless stories about women in modern Australian cinema and TV

    Lucy Coleman on centering fearless stories about women in modern Australian cinema and TV

    This interview has been a long while in the can, waiting to be published. This in depth discussion with filmmaker, creative, and fearless storyteller Lucy Coleman was recorded early in 2025 and due to reasons you'll hear in the long intro (recorded in the foyer of Luna Cinemas Leederville, a home away from home), it's now finally being released into the world. Lucy Coleman is the creative vision behind films like Hot Mess and Lean In, both featured in the best films list of their respective years, with Hot Mess getting a mention in the Best Aussie Films of the 2010s list. These are biting, searing comedies that tear apart what we think Australian comedy can or should be. Then, there's Lucy's Stan. series Exposure, a change of pace, a drama which she wrote. This powerful series follows Alice Englert's Jacs Gould as a photographer returning home to find out why her best friend took her life. It's powerful, but also flips the script of the routine and tired 'cop returns to his country town home to solve a murder that he discovers is linked to him'. It's always a man solving these crimes. Always small town. Exposure changes that: it's not a murder, but a suicide. It's not a woman trying to figure out what's happening, but a friend, a very close one at that. It's a devastating series that left me hollowed out by its end. Exposure, like Hot Mess and Lean In, is an experience which lingers in my mind, changing how I see the next film or TV show that I watch. This interview, like those works, hasn't left me. And now, I'm releasing it into the world. Enjoy. Thank you Lucy for your patience with me getting this into the world.
