READ MORENYWIFT Co-Presents The Big Steal at Museum of the Moving Image
New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) is proud to co-present a Museum of the Moving Image screening of NYWIFT member Nadia Tass's 1991 film The Big Steal, followed by a Q&A with the director. The screening is part of MOMI's Pioneering Women in Australian Cinema program.
Teenager Danny (a baby-faced Ben Mendelsohn, in an early role) wants to woo his crush Joanna, promising a ride in his 1973 Jaguar. Except that he doesn’t have one. Unwanted and unintended consequences ensue when he decides to trade in his dowdy 1962 Nissan via a sketchy car dealer. This warm-hearted teen comedy caper was the third feature for filmmaking couple Nadia Tass (director) and David Parker (writer and cinematographer). A car-lover’s delight, it invigorates the 1980s teen date-comedy formula with an Aussie sensibility, showcasing the streets of inner-city Melbourne and a sunny Oz-rock soundtrack.
