Mark Lee, the other star of Peter Weir’s 1981 WI drama Gallipoli has spent the last few decades as a big name on Australian television. Now he returns to cinema, not to act, but with his directorial debut The Bet. This contemporary morality tale set in the glamorous but ruthless world of Sydney stock broking has been highly praised in his homeland and is part of the 12th London Australian Film Festival on Tour. The Bet will be showing with the short, Two Minutes to Midnight. I Fi/l77/7OUSG. Edinburgh (83! 20 Mav only).
