Redball was shot entirely on digital video, later to be transferred onto 35mm for theatrical release. The film premiered at the 1998 Melbourne International Film Festival - and in November 1998, has still not recieved a general release date. |
| Synopsis |
"A dark comtemporary police thriller about a few weeks in the lives of some used-up Melbourne detectives. Constructed as a series of snapshots of the Homicide, CIB, Vice and Drug squads, Redball is a gritty, hard-hitting, darkly comic descent into the tensions, abuses and psychoses inherent in frontline policework - and a resonant paean to a city haunted by corruption, police shootings and the murder of innocence."
Synopsis taken from "inproduction: Production Survey" in Cinema Papers - Number 118, July 1997. |

| Not so much an article as a two page photo spread with short blurb on the film which sounds like it is from the press kit.
