The Eye Of The Storm recently won The Age Critics Award at Miff. Director Fred Schepisi spoke with Alice Terlikowski about his return to Australian storytelling, upcoming projects and the industry at large.
Roxanne, The Russia House and Six Degrees Of Separation, to name a few, are all under the belt of Australian director Fred Schepisi but it’s his latest work starring Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis that holds a particular significance to the Australian industry.
The 71-year-old director told Encore he’s been working on Australian stories for “quite a long time” but has always aimed to strike a balance between work in Hollywood and at home. The Eye Of The Storm is his first Australian film in 22 years, since Evil Angels – based on the story of Lindy Chamberlain.

Production kicked off today in Melbourne, Australia on acclaimed filmmaker Fred Schepsi's "The Eye of the Storm" according to an official press release.
Based on the classic novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White, the story is set in Sydney's Centennial Park where two nurses, a housekeeper and a solicitor attend to Elizabeth Hunter (Charlotte Rampling) as her expatriate son (Geoffrey Rush) and daughter (Judy Davis) convene at her deathbed.
But, in dying, as in living, Mrs. Hunter remains a powerful force on those who surround her. The film is described as "a savage exploration of family relationships — and the sharp undercurrents of love and hate, comedy and tragedy, which define them."
Alexandra Schepisi, Robyn Nevin, Colin Friels, John Gaden, and Helen Morse also star in the project which marks the first film Australian director Schepsi has shot in his homeland since 1988's "A Cry in the Dark" (aka. "Evil Angels...
