Serious Fun

It’s time for some serious fun on this website! Try the trivia quiz designed by Beth Taylor which will test your knowledge about Australia’s screen heritage. The quiz is random in that it’s different every time you try it so if at first you don’t succeed, have another go, and another. A few people at the office helped come up with the questions. We’re still tweaking the format so if you have any ideas or suggestions please let us know.

Our other competition is ‘Take 2’, a challenge to re-make a clip from a title on the website, in your own words. Like Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind , we want you to 'Swede’ a film or television show, in any manner you choose. Users can alter the wardrobe, location, era or genre of a title You can use finger puppets, models or dolls, parents, pets, friends or siblings. The aim of the game is to be original, creative and, most of all, entertaining.

The first title out of the 'Take 2’ gate is Chris Lilley’s masterful mockumentary Summer Heights High . So if you fancy a go at being Mr G, Ja’mie or Jonah dive into your closet, dig up an outfit and dust off your drama skills. The competition is set to launch in a few months so stay tuned to the ASO blog for more details.
