Best Achievement in Cinematography | 1995 | Tony
The entire cast of the film totaled to just five cast members.
The film was nominated for 1 AFI (Australian Film Institute) Award in 1995 for Best Achievement in Cinematography for cinematographer Tony Clark but lost out to Ellery Ryan for 'Angel Baby' (1995).
Even though the movie is telling us we need to clean up the environment, the old lady that is narrating the story, is burning wood in a camp fire. :(
One of only three Rolf de Heer directed theatrical feature films that can be genre classified in the science fiction genre. They are 'Incident at Raven's Gate' (1988), 'Epsilon (aka 'Alien Visitor') (1997), and 'Dr. Plonk' (2007) - the latter because of its time machine and time travel story elements. Each of the three unrelated movies were made about a decade apart in around ten year increments.
About at least half a dozen personnel worked on both of director Rolf de Heer's two major colour science fiction movies - 'Epsilon (aka 'Alien Visitor') (1997) and 'Incident at Raven's Gate' (1988). They were de Heer, composer Graham Tardif, editor Tania Nehme, visual effects artist Roger Cowland, and Pete Smith & John Simpson in the sound department.
"She: We better get back into the present. If I'm here before I got here, they won't be looking for me yet. And when later on they do look, I won't be here for them to find me."
"She: You're going to have to help me get off. The Man: Me? Off where? She: Here. Off here. Off Earth. The Man: Oh, you mean, this "vile" planet? She: Yes. The Man: Looks OK to me. She: That's because you're like a frog. The Man: Oh, I see. She: You don't see at all. Have you ever cooked a live frog? The Man: Why would I want to do that? She: You might learn something. [pause] She: When you drop a frog into a pot of boiling water it will jump straight back out to save itself. But if you put a frog into a pot of cold water and heat it slowly it will swim around quite happily until the water gets too hot and kills it. The Man: So? She: Are you representative of the level of intelligence here or are you particularly stupid? The Man: Oh, about average I'd say. She: This place is worse than I thought. [pause] She: What happens to the second frog is what is happening to you here, right this minute. And I want to get off before the water boils."
