I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL to screen at three Australian festivals

I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL: THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF SPIKE MILLIGAN will screen in Sydney as part of a wonderful fringe event during the Sydney Film Festival along with three other 'must-see' Australian documentaries. There will be three screenings of Spike: Saturday 18 June at 6.30pm along with Sunday 19 June at 11.30am & 2.30pm.

The Inaugural Salon Des Refuses Film Festival 2005 will host a selection of exceptionally outstanding, life affirming Australian documentary films not screening for one reason or another, at this year's Sydney Film Festival.

The Salon des Refuses will be held on Saturday 18 June and Sunday 19 June at a function room on the 8th floor of the Swissotel, 68 Market Street, Sydney, which is conveniently located just across the road from the Sydney Film Festival's main venue. Entry is by donation.

A prize will be awarded on the last night by popular vote, the Silver Yabby - a yabby being a hardy creature used to surviving in murky waters and in drought. The organisers felt this to be an apt metaphor relating to independent Australian film makers.

I TOLD YOU I WAS ILL has also been selected for the 54th Melbourne International Film Festival (20 July to 7 August 2005) and the Brisbane International Film Festival (27 July to 8th August).

We will also be presenting a session at this year’s Byron Bay Writers' Festival, called 'Writing for Multi-platform Delivery – the Spike Model', on Friday 5 August. The screening of the new Director's Cut is on the following Monday, 8 August, at the Byron Bay Community Centre.
