Show Notes
Welcome to the latest episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast.
In this episode I’m joined by actor Teresa Palmer, and director Marcelle Lunam to discuss their new rom-com, Addition.
Addition follows Grace, played by Palmer, a woman who counts everything because numbers hold her world together. But when a chance encounter with Seamus, played by Joe Dempsie, turns her world upside down, her meticulously ordered life starts to unravel.
Having appeared in numerous films and TV shows since the early 2000’s Teresa Palmer really needs no introduction. But if you’re unfamiliar with her work, she has appeared in films such as 2:37, Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here, Warm Bodies opposite Nicholas Hoult, Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge, and Rachel Griffith’s Ride Like a Girl in which she playa Melbourne Cup-winning jockey, Michelle Payne. Teresa’s TV credits include The Family Next Door, The Clearing and Mixtape.
Addition is the first narrative feature film for Marcelle Lunam having previously directed the documentary Habana (Abana) Shakes, and the music video Justine Clarke: I Like to Shake. Marcelle’s work here is quite impressive for a first timer.
Anyway… enjoy.

I love a film that evokes the same symptoms as a fever dream, or if you’ve dabbled in acid in your past, an acid trip.
On this episode, I’m joined by writer and director Mia’Kate Russell to discuss her very excellent, highly entertaining, violent and bloody cat-and-mouse horror, Penny Lane is Dead.
Australia really does punch above its weight when it comes to documentary filmmaking. Over the past 18 months alone, this country has produced a number of inspiring, world-class documentaries that fit in so well on the world stage.
