For the past four years, Lucas Taylor has been one of Australia’s busiest screenwriters and television creators. Against the odds, in a highly competitive and volatile industry, he has two hit shows on air at the same time – Stan’s Black Snow, with its second season released on January 1, and ABC-TV’s In Limbo. It’s a remarkable achievement rivalled only by Michael Lucas, the acclaimed writer-creator of The Newsreader and co-creator of Five Bedrooms.

Worldwide sensation Round the Twist has morphed over three decades from best-selling book to much-loved TV series and now a world-premiere musical. Round The Twist The Musical, a co-production between Queensland Theatre and QPAC, opens in the QPAC Playhouse on November 12. This iteration of author Paul Jennings’ creation that revolves around the sometimes-supernatural adventures of a family who live in a lighthouse began with a spark of an idea eight years ago.

The Powerhouse Theatre at Brisbane Powerhouse was packed for what promised to be a “noice”, “different” and very “unushual” sell-out show. Fresh from sold-out shows in Melbourne, Canberra and the Sydney Opera House, Fountain Lakes in Lockdown camps it up (and up and up) as it explores what Australia’s foxiest morons, Kath and Kim, got up to in lockdown.

“The river is the biggest player in who I am,” says Māori elder Ned Tapa. “Our trip is about us as people coming together; it’s about saving rivers, saving the planet.”It’s hard to imagine anyone who watches this film disagreeing that the Whanganui River is worthy of saving. Flowing across 290km through the heart of Aotearoa’s North Island and surrounded by lush rainforest, it is breathtakingly beautiful, it’s fast-flowing current and inky depths exuding an almost other-worldly lure.

Brisbane’s mild nights present the perfect setting to watch a movie outdoors at Dendy Outdoor Cinema at Brisbane Powerhouse. The cinema has been operating for a year now, but it’s still a well-kept secret to many. Head of marketing for Dendy Cinemas Eloi Mota says it’s not only the first permanent outdoor cinema for Dendy – it’s also the first permanent outdoor cinema of any kind for Brisbane.

In Occupied City, released last year, director Steve McQueen documented to the point of exhaustion the fate of houses and public spaces in Amsterdam during German occupation. The weight of the stories, based on a book by his Dutch wife, chronicled the physical and psychological impact of the Nazi presence in Amsterdam. McQueen lives there and made the very long documentary to exorcise the city’s ghosts. Having done that, he had World War II on his mind.

It’s been 20 years since I last saw Wim Wenders’ 1984 Palme d’Or-winning film Paris, Texas. I think it was downstairs in the little cinema at Metro Arts (long gone now) and the film print looked – to borrow a memorable line from the film – like “forty miles of rough road”. Thankfully, for the 40th anniversary, Wenders has overseen a meticulous 4K restoration. Still, I was apprehensive about seeing it again.

Multinational concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment has come under fire, with an ABC Four Corners investigation saying its unprecedented market power is open to abuse. The report follows concerns about the introduction of dynamic pricing – where ticket prices change according to demand – to the Australian concert market. A parliamentary inquiry into the live music sector is also underway.
