...topic today, people: safe sex. See this cucumber? Watch as we slip this condom over it. The audience gasps, but it's all in a day's work at the Cristina Show. Meet Cristina Saralegui (pronounced Sar-a-leh-gee), the vivacious host. For her millions of Spanish-speaking viewers, she might as well have a trademark sign after her name. Like Martha Stewart and Oprah, Cristina has created a hot brand: herself. And she may be in your home soon...

With Possum, his award-winning 1996 short, the filmmaker, trained at Melbourne's Swinburne school, found improbable lightness in the dark fable of a boy and his autistic sister at the turn of last century. With Father's Den, he sets a match to New Zealand's "cinema of unease," the phrase coined by Sam Neill to describe the country's love affair with darkness.
