H.K. Honderfit (17 December 1960-)

An acclaimed Australian film critic of Dutch descent. His father, Bjorn came to Australia in 1956. His mother, Helga was on the same boat. They only met each other after a few months living in Melbourne. Honderfit was schooled at Auburn South Primary School, before receiving a scholarship to attend the prestigious all-boys Northcote High. During his academic career, Honderfit won prizes in literature, music and the dark arts (not formally recognised). He went on to receive a 99.95 ENTER score, which in his state (Victoria) is the equal top honour. Honderfit has since undertaken an Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws at the University of Melbourne. His literary work gained international recognition through his thesis 'The Plight of Australian Film', and he was subsequently awarded a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University.

Since then Honderfit has gone on to become the pre-eminent critic in the Australian Film Industry. His constant criticism of the industry has been hailed as a catalyst for the improvement and sustainability of an industry that looks to break free from the shackles of bureaucracy.
