– Documentaries about the late Rowland S Howard and Melbourne’s iconic Tote Hotel will screen back-to-back on ABC2 tonight (January 25). Pieced together over seven years by Melbourne filmmaker Natalie van den Dungen, Persecution Blues: The Battle For The Tote tells the story of the fight to save Melbourne’s iconic Tote Hotel, taking in the final days before the venue’s brief closure in 2010. It’ll screen at 8.30pm ahead of Autoluminescent (9.30pm), a vivid portrait of Australian music legend Rowland S Howard directed by Lynn-Maree Milburn and Richard Lowenstein. M+N writer Rene Schaefer was one hand to witness its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival in July last year. Review here.
