Plus Q&A with director

JONATHAN TEPLITZKY

and virtuoso editor

MARTIN CONNOR

LIVE ON STAGE!

MONDAY NOVEMBER 14 – 7PM
Event Cinemas, Bondi Junction

Burning Man is the reckless, sexy, funny, moving and ultimately life-affirming story of Tom, a British chef in a Bondi restaurant, who seems to have decided there are no longer any rules he needs to obey.

Whatever Tom is up to, his actions seem to be tolerated by those around him. As Tom descends into darkness, fragments of a different story begin to emerge. All the women in his world are trying in their own, very different ways to help put him back together.

Starring Matthew Goode, Bojana Novakovic, Essie Davis,
Kerry Fox, Rachel Griffiths and Jack Heanly.

Written and directed by Jonathan Teplitzky

MORE ON JONATHAN TEPLITZKY:

BURNING MAN is Jonathan Teplitzky’s third feature film.
Teplitzky studied film and television at Middlesex University, London, graduating in 1989 with First Class Honours.
After spending more than a decade living and working overseas, he returned to Australia to write and direct his first feature film, Better Than Sex, starring David Wenham and Susie Porter.

The film opened the 2000 Sydney International Film Festival and was selected for the Telluride, Toronto, New York, and London festivals. Better Than Sex was nominated in eight categories at the 2000 AFI awards, including best film, and sold to over fifty countries, premiering in the US in October 2001.

Teplitzky’s second feature, Gettin’ Square, starred Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Timothy Spall. The film went on to receive 12 AFI nominations, and was released worldwide to critical acclaim in 2003.
Jonathan has directed more than 100 commercials and music videos and has been represented by internationally renowned production company, Partizan.  He has worked as a director of photography and camera operator, reflecting his love of photography and composition. His photographs have been included in several exhibitions in Sydney, London and New York.

It has also recently been announced that Jonathan Teplitzky will direct Colin Firth’s next film ‘The Railway Man’.
