OPENING NIGHT MIFF
Established in 1952, the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is the most significant screen event in Australia. The festival takes place annually in the heart of the city, presenting an acclaimed screening program alongside industry and celebratory events.
MIFF showcases the best in current cinema from around the world as well as retrospectives, tributes and Talking Pictures discussion programs. Since its inception, MIFF has been committed to local film; it screens a wide array of Australian films every year, and hosts many celebratory world premieres of local films.
Complementing the screening program is MIFF’s renowned industry program that includes an investment fund (the Premiere Fund) and the director’s development program (Accelerator). MIFF’s finance market (37°South) brings the national and international screen industry to Melbourne during the festival and celebrates Melbourne as a centre for screen business.

Opening Night - A Hoax
BY RICK VIEDE
20 July - 1 September 2012
When social worker Ant discovers Currah, a young indigenous girl with a horrific past, he’s certain he’s found the way to make a difference.
When literary agent extraordinaire Ronnie Lowe discovers Currah, she’s certain she’s found marketing gold.
Now Currah’s got the world at her feet, an army of fans and isn’t returning any of Ant’s calls. Finding himself flung aside, Ant will do anything to be part of the spotlight.
Inspired by the recent spate of fabricated “misery memoirs”, A Hoax is a vicious satire on the politics of identity, modern celebrity and the peddling of abuse culture.
Rick Viede burst onto the scene when his first play Whore won the Griffin Award, toured to New York and took out the Queensland Premier’s Literary Award. A Hoax is Rick’s provocative and hilarious second play, and winner of the 2011 Griffin Award.
With its wickedly irreverent humour, A Hoax will make you gasp with delight and despair in one breath.
