Yönetmen · d. 1987 · Australia
Gracie Otto, 23 Mayıs 1987 tarihinde Sidney, Yeni Güney Galler, Avustralya'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Avustralya sinema ve tiyatrosunun en köklü ailelerinden birine mensup olan Gracie, efsanevi karakter oyuncusu Barry Otto'nun kızı ve "Yüzüklerin Efendisi" yıldızı Miranda Otto'nun üvey kız kardeşidir. Sanatla iç içe büyüyen ve Sydney Film Okulu'nda eğitim alan Otto, kariyerine oyunculukla başlasa da kısa sürede asıl tutkusunun kamera arkası, özellikle de yönetmenlik olduğunu keşfetti. Kariyerinin ilk yıllarında estetik vizyonunu kısa filmler ve uluslararası markalar için çektiği moda filmleriyle geliştirdi. Sinema dünyasındaki ilk büyük ve prestijli çıkışını, belgesel sineması alanında gerçekleştirdi. Ünlü tiyatro ve film yapımcısı Michael White'ın hayatını konu alan "The Last Impresario" (2013) adlı belgeseli, Londra Film Festivali'nde prömiyer yaptı ve eleştirmenlerden büyük övgü toplayarak ona uluslararası bir tanınırlık kazandırdı. Bu başarı, onun hikaye anlatıcılığındaki yeteneğini ve insan odaklı yaklaşımını kanıtladı. Belgesel türündeki başarısını, George Martin'in Montserrat'taki efsanevi kayıt stüdyosunu ve burada kaydedilen ikonik albümleri anlatan "Under the Volcano" (2021) ile sürdürdü. Ancak Gracie Otto, sadece belgesellerle sınırlı kalmayıp kurmaca anlatıma ve televizyon dünyasına da hızlı bir geçiş yaptı. Avustralya'da büyük ilgi gören komedi dizisi "The Other Guy" ve "Bump" gibi yapımlarda yönetmenlik yaptı. Özellikle Netflix'in 90'lar klasiğini modern bir dille yeniden uyarladığı ve küresel bir hit haline gelen "Heartbreak High" (2022) dizisinin yönetmen kadrosunda yer alarak gençlik dramalarındaki başarısını gösterdi. İlk uzun metrajlı konulu filmi olan "Seriously Red" (2022), Dolly Parton taklitçisi olmaya çalışan bir kadının hikayesini anlatan canlı, müzikal ve komedi unsurları taşıyan bir yapımdı. Rose Byrne ve Bobby Cannavale gibi isimlerin yer aldığı film, SXSW Film Festivali'nde gösterildi ve Otto'nun renkli dünyasını beyaz perdeye taşıdı. Ayrıca, babası Barry Otto'nun kariyerine, mirasına ve Alzheimer hastalığıyla mücadelesine odaklanan son derece kişisel ve duygusal "Otto on Otto" (2021) belgeselini yöneterek ailesine dokunaklı bir saygı duruşunda bulundu. Ralf Films adlı yapım şirketinin kurucusu olan Gracie Otto, Avustralya sinemasının en çalışkan ve vizyoner kadın yönetmenlerinden biri olarak kariyerine devam etmektedir.

Film5.5BelgeselMichael White might just be the most famous person you’ve never heard of. A notorious London theatre and film impresario, he produced over 300 shows and movies over the last 50 years. Bringing to the stage the risqué productions of Oh! Calcutta!, The Rocky Horror Show and to the screen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as well as introducing Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch and Yoko Ono to London audiences, he irrevocably shaped the cultural scene of the 1970s London.

Film7.0BelgeselInspired to make an original, intimate family portrait, Gracie Otto directs a feature length documentary on her father, Barry Otto, whose career in Australian theatre, film and television has spanned more than 50 years. Baz as he is affectionately known is one of a kind - a truly creative, endearing and extremely eccentric personality who embraces the serious and the silly. This story is about Gracie's relationship with her father, in the twilight of his career and his life, as she tries to capture his memories, before his memory disappears. This is not a traditional biopic, but a deeply personal, artistic and cinematic reflection. Sometimes poignant in its exploration of deteriorating health, the film looks at the world through Baz's eyes, an ode to living a passionate life, that both honours him and preserves his memory.
