Two music-themed films and a love story from The Rocket director Kim Mordaunt are among the 15 features to secure new development money from Screen Australia.
The Musician, produced by Brian Rosen and Su Armstrong, is about how Richard Goldner, a violinist who arrived in Australia from Vienna as a refugee, set up Musica Viva, one of the largest presenters of chamber music in the world.
Clara, which is being developed by producer Sue Maslin and writer/director Jocelyn Moorhouse, tells of the deep bonds between Clara Schumann, one of the foremost classical pianists of the Romantic era, her husband, the composer Richard Schumann, and their protégé Johannes Brahams – and that included a love triangle.
“Jocelyn has wanted to tell this story for years,” Maslin told ScreenDaily, adding that the film is set in Austria and Germany.
“It is a very international film, with great music and a story that’s little known.”

We had a chance to interview San Francisco Bay Area local indie
director *Sebastian Corbascio*.
Sebastian is an established filmmaker working on a very
important film titled *Sarah Luger* about a teen murdered on her front doorstep in a quiet, quaint little town. The murder is tied to an all-girls high school society who call themselves *The Legionaires*.
Sebastian was kind enough to agree to an interview about the project, his aspirations for the film, and of course, his favorite* Horror, Cult, and Exploitation flicks!*
Ray Of The Dead (RotD): Sarah Luger centers on a young girl murdered on her front doorstep by a supposed notorious “society”. The premise is almost shockingly pulled straight from newspaper headlines. How much of an inspiration did you cull from school violence in the media? What was your initial influence for this forthcoming film?
Sebastian Corbascio (Sc): It’s difficult to remember...
