MATTHEW NEWTON PAYS TRIBUTE TO BUD AT DUGONG FESTIVAL


THE new breed of Australian show business will roll into town tonight to join the audience at the Dungog Film Festival and farewell one of the industry's elder statesmen.

Pia Miranda and Gracie Otto will support their friend Matthew Newton at the NSW premiere of his directorial debut, Three Blind Mice, which features the late Charles "Bud" Tingwell.

Tingwell, who died earlier this month after a battle with cancer, was a renowned for his film and television roles in productions such as Homicide and The Castle.

Newton's film, also starring Gracie Otto and her father Barry, follows three young naval officers on their last night in Sydney as they discover themselves before they sail for the Gulf.
Last night the audience at the James Theatre was treated to another NSW premier, that of Kriv Stenders film Lucky Country, which studies people afflicted with a mix of cabin and gold fever.
