My Name Is Albert Ayler in Melbourne

I’ve been waiting for ages for a chance to see the documentary My Name Is Albert Ayler (reviews here), but so far it hasn’t even made it to Australia at all. I had hopes when I saw that the Adelaide Film Festival had a section on music documentaries but it wasn’t to be. Now, according to the film’s official website it is to screen at the Melbourne International Film Festival. I thought I’d really had a stroke of luck since I was thinking of going to Melbourne in July anyway … but unfortunately the festival starts on July 25 by which time I’ll be back in Adelaide for work. I suppose I can still hold out hope for an Adelaide screening.
