MIKE RANN’S NEW MOVIE ROLE

Former Labor premier Mike Rann has been given a new movie role – as chairman of the South Australian Film Corporation’s board.

Mr Rann, 70, was SA premier from 2002-11, and simultaneously the longest serving Arts Minister in the state’s history.

While in office, Mr Rann appeared in a cameo role, playing the Prime Minister, in director Rolf de Heer’s 2007 sci-fi/comedy film Dr Plonk.

Among Mr Rann’s initiatives were establishment of the SAFC’s Adelaide Studios production facilities at Glenside, which he opened on his last day as premier in October 2011, as well as founding the Adelaide Film Festival and AFF Investment Fund.

“I have been closely involved with the SAFC in many ways over the decades, nearly since its inception over 50 years ago – both as Premier and through working on staff for Premier Don Dunstan, who established the agency in 1972,” Mr Rann said.

“Now encompassing film, TV, post production and visual effects, video games and more, the cultural value and importance of our screen industry has never been more significant.”

SAFC chief executive Kate Croser said she looked forward to working with Mr Rann and lawyer Brian Hayes, who will also join its board.

“Mike Rann’s initiatives as Premier have contributed greatly to our industry’s strengthened position and growth and built a lasting legacy for the sector,” Ms Croser said.

Meanwhile, the former head of the Society of Antiquities of London, Dr David Gaimster, has been appointed as the new director of the South Australian Museum.

Dr Gaimster is currently chief executive of the Auckland Museum, where he oversaw development of its new $38m south atrium and secured the largest research grant ever awarded to a museum in New Zealand.

“I hope to bring my commitment to innovation and my experience of leading institutions with long and distinguished records of collecting, research and public engagement to the critical next stage of the Museum’s development,” he said.

Dr Gaimster will move to Adelaide with his family and is expected to commence his new role in June.

He is also a former director of The Hunterian museums at the University of Glasgow and has held senior roles at the British Museum.

SA Museum chairman Kim Cheater said Dr Gaimster had the “immense experience” needed for the institution’s future.

“David has a proven ability to lead the rejuvenation and transformation of natural science and human culture museums,” Mr Cheater said.

“He brings energy, a bold vision and a track record in driving innovation which will be exciting and refreshing.”

The SA Museum’s previous director Brian Oldman stood down at the end of 2022, after nine years in the job.
