Filmmaker Gillian Leahy appears on ABC News Breakfast to discuss her new "dogumentary" Baxter and Me.
Gillian Leahy in her newest documentary, BAXTER AND ME, raises the question of who really owns who in this heartwarming documentary. Dogs have been associated with humans for millennia, Gill’s idiosyncratic, honest and, indeed, “dogged” examination of her relationships – both canine and human – raises questions about how we relate to the “wild” in dogs as well as to the other (two-legged) animals that inhabit our world.
BAXTER AND ME will be released in cinemas across Australia via Demand Film: www.demand.film.
Dr Zac reveals and explains the subtle signs that something sinister is happening in your body, including ringing ears, loss of taste, bluish tinge on fingers and finger nails and the strange retina freckles, that all may warrant a check up at the local GP.
Cinemagoers are usually urged to switch off mobile phones when the lights dim for a movie, but a new app for the vision-impaired will transform their device and film-going experience.
Adelaide woman Sarah Savage said her impairment meant she had never before been to the cinema, and she missed out as well when she and her husband watched TV or movies at home.
"I miss most of the detail, especially if there's lots of darkness," she said.
The MovieReading app detects the point the film is at, via the phone's microphone, and streams a detailed descriptive audio track, which tells the user what is appearing on the big screen.

Tim Nieuwenhuis, managing director of Workfast, says apps such as his connect tradespeople with the marketplace and allow them to find work all over the country.

A $40 billion oil and gas deposit lies 50 kms inside the East Timor section of the median border.

Steve Bracks appears on ABC Breakfast News to raise awareness in helping Timor-Leste achieve permanent, equitable maritime boundaries in the Timor Sea with Indonesia and Australia.
Bracks also promotes his new film, which engages and motivates Australians about the need to draw a just and permanent border in the Timor Sea, following a story that will shock many Australians if they knew the facts.
