Melbourne International Film Festival is on and I’ve signed up for a bunch of movies. First up, I saw this documentary about Kiwi singer-songwriter Marlon Williams and his journey to connect with his Māori heritage.

Senna – Film Review
I took a break from my Mad Men re-watch marathon to check out this 2010 documentary about the career of Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula One champion, who died at the age of 34 after a crash in the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

Apollo 11 – Film Review
I feel very fortunate to have caught the special IMAX session of this extraordinary documentary, celebrating the landmark achievement of the Apollo 11 moon launch fifty years ago. There’s nothing like an immersive IMAX experience, watching it at home would never have had the same impact.
