Sleepless: The Story of Future Classic

PG-13 2018 · 44 min · ★ 8.0 · Documentary, Music

In 2004, Nathan McLay quit his day job to start Future Classic, a Sydney record label he hoped would put Australia's burgeoning dance music scene on the world map. It quickly became an incubator of local talent and launched the careers of genre-bending artists like Nick Murphy (formerly known as Chet Faker), Flight Facilities and Flume. This documentary traces the label's growth from a small DIY collective to an unstoppable force in contemporary music.

Flume first made headlines in 2012 with his self-titled debut album, a glitchy mix of R&B and ambient-leaning electronica that formed his signature sound. His remixes of hits by Lorde and Disclosure made him a global superstar. Here, the Australian DJ/producer lets fans in on the agonizing process of writing his second LP, 2016's Skin, a star-studded, mold-breaking album that won a GRAMMY® Award.

Anchored by intimate, one-on-one interviews with the man himself, Nicholas Wrathall’s new documentary is a fascinating and wholly entertaining tribute to the iconic Gore Vidal. Commentary by those who knew him best—including filmmaker/nephew Burr Steers and the late Christopher Hitchens—blends with footage from Vidal’s legendary on-air career to remind us why he will forever stand as one of the most brilliant and fearless critics of our time.

MovieDocumentary
Kimberley Traditional Owners question what meaningful negotiation looks like and offer humanising portraits of those at the centre of this battle in Australia’s spectacular north-west corner, which governments aspire to make "the future economic powerhouse of Australia". With the highest percentage of Aboriginal people living on Country in Australia, what will this mean for the Kimberley’s custodians, lands and cultures, and will they survive these pressures?
