A member of Australia's gifted late-'70s new wave of directors,
Fred Schepisi graduated from television commercials to lens a
diverse array of projects that spanned astute meditations on the
ethnic tensions in his native country (The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith),
thoughtful science fiction (Iceman), gentle comedies (Roxanne),
and mature, finely detailed dramas (Six Degrees of Separation).
Fred
Schepisi has demonstrated skill at opening up book and stage
properties with cinematic scale and techniques, without dulling
or oversimplifying their original edges, and he's elicited powerful
performances from both established stars such as Meryl Streep
and Sean Connery and then-newcomers such as John Lone and Will
Smith.
