Our other favourite film festival - the 30th Greek Film Festival - is about to open! Includes some old favourites (hello Yorgos Lanthimos) and some new (including Kapetan Michalis based on the novel by legendary Νίκου Καζαντζάκη)

The Greek Film Festival is presented in Victoria by the Greek Community of Melbourne and in New South Wales by the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW playing on the Palace Cinemas group’s screens.

Another MIFF (our 23rd - and despite constant nagging, they still haven't done a John Carpenter retrospective, or even brought the great Artist himself out to do a live performance). Super opening night film though, and the Ellis Park music/documentary was very entertaining.

This year we updated the CMS to the new Textstem 9 - and it held up to the traffic very well, barely breaking a sweat.

The Melbourne Design Week is almost here. In 2021, Melbourne Design Week explored the theme ‘Design the world you want’ and asked designers to consider how they could collaborate to create a healthier future. In 2022, the program continues with this call-to-action to celebrate the diverse ways design can work towards this better future.

And they have a very nice website too! Check it out

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, team MeccaMedialight will be working from their home offices over the next few weeks. We will continue to maintain sites and applications, and work on new projects at our usual cracking pace.

In these unprecedented and unsettling times, please spare a thought for people in the arts industry. Australian’s working in the arts industry have reported more than $200 million in lost income caused by Australian bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic, with 400,000 jobs impacted and more than 225,000 gigs/events cancelled (source: https://ilostmygig.net.au). Now is a great time to digital downloads and buy merch, make donations (https://supportact.org.au/donate-now/) and dont worry about getting refunds for cancelled events. And if cash is tight - share the love on social media and streaming services!
