Eric Bana ambassador for Melbourne International Film Festival
The Troy, Chopper and Munich star Eric Bana has taken on the role of ambassador for this month’s Melbourne International Film Festival. The Melburnian actor leads a list of celebrities being signed to glam up the festival, which has Oscar-, Golden Globe-, BAFTA- and Emmy-winning actor Geoffrey Rush as its patron.
Eric Bana has been reported to be thrilled about the honour as “it’s my home town’s film festival and it’s much closer than Cannes, Toronto or Sundance!”
The organisers describe the selection of the films featured in this year’s 400-movie marathon as “bold” and “audacious”. The festival, which takes place from 25 July – 10 August, will include 10 world premieres.
Last year, Melbourne International Film Festival drew more than 180,000 people.
Melbourne has to be one of my favourite cities in Australia and linking up with the film festival, grand prix and Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant might well be worthwhile......
