Around the arts world
What's the latest in the world of arts?
Nothing is what it seems
What does a third-generation writer do when he’s not performing on stage or hosting a radio show? He writes a book, of course. Time, Light and Other Myths by Mikki Palti follows four characters searching for something more in New Devon, where the sun rarely shines and it rains all the time, no one lives past 30 and nothing is what it seems.
Palti comes from a literary family. His grandfather, Uri, hosted the Hebrew SBS radio show for many years and has published nine books, while his mother Debby recently signed a book deal to publish a medieval murder mystery.
Time, Light and Other Myths is now available from book retailers and online.
Under the stars
With the summer of freedom fast approaching, Moonlight Cinema is back around the country, bringing the nostalgia of picnics, popcorn and film, set among Australia’s most idyllic inner-city parklands.
Just like in previous years, the cinema under the stars will return to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and this year, for the first time, a new venue has been added in Adelaide.
There’s an excellent line-up this year including Gal Gadot’s Red Notice, Black Widow and the gorgeous family-friend Disney animation, Encanto.
For something a little bit extra special, Moonlight Cinema is putting on Sing Together sessions, where guests can unabashedly sing along to songs in the classics, such as Dirty Dancing.
Under balmy summer night skies, each Moonlight location will come to life with on-site activations, food trucks, bars and the comfiest of bean beds.
Moonlight Cinemas sessions start this weekend, with dates running into February and March for some cities. Bookings: moonlight.com.au
New thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat
Following on from his first novel, The Apple Orchard, which followed Shimon as he worked covertly with the Israeli security forces, Steven Fine is back with his second book, Will You Keep Me Tomorrow.
Set in Australia, but taking readers around the world, the book is based on some of Fine’s real-life experiences and has already coveted interest from a local movie producer.
The book promises to take readers on a journey of wealth, poverty, romance, surprise and murder.
With prior careers in security, public relations and travel writing, Fine is now a motivational speaker and writer, and bases many of his speeches on his unique life experiences. Will You Keep Me Tomorrow is no different. Fine loves writing mystery, believing it gets the heart beating faster and really challenges readers brains.
Will You Keep Me Tomorrow is available at all major book retailers.
