Father of Independent Cinema in Australia...filmmaker Paul Cox's 5th death anniversary recently happened!
 
Paulus Henriqus Benedictus 'Paul Cox'..was Australia’s most prolific film auteur! His unique films focused on uncertainty in life and loneliness within relationships!

Started with 'Illuminations' (1976).. Paul Cox's films reflected such genre in 'Lonely Hearts' (1982), 'Man of - Flowers' (1983), 'Island' (1989)', 'Exile' (1994), 'Lust and Revenge' (1996) & 'Human Touch' (2004).

He also made 14 short films and 12 documentaries in which includes some on our India like.'Calcutta' (1971).
 
He received many awards in prestigious international film festivals! His last film 'Force of Destiny' (2015) was with David Wenham & our Indian Actress Shahana Goswami!

I remembered nice meeting to Mr. Paul Cox in our 'International Film Festival of India' ('IFFI') held at Trivandrum in 1997!

Humble Homage!!
