ryl uses all means at his disposal in his quest to fight the eviction by
taking the government to court.\n\nThe Castle presents a novel depictio
n of the ‘Aussie battler’ through Darryl’s persistence to hold onto what

blications on Constitutional recognition of Indigenous people in Austral
ia have been relied upon by The Australian Parliament\, Government agenc
ies\, community organisations\, schools and Indigenous groups.\n• Honora

DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ROYAL NORWEGIAN EMBASSY<
/b>\n\nJohan (Pål Sverre Hagen) lives in a small village on a remote\, b
arren\, windswept stretch of the Norwegian coast. The most popular hobby
of the locals is goading on one another\, and in particular\, Johan. He
’s an oddball even by their standards. He has three great loves in life:
his horse\; his beautiful neighbour\, Solvor (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal)\; an
d blowing things up. Unfortunately\, Solvor is among the things Johan bl
ows up early on in life (a little bit\, anyway) and she rather resents h
im for it.\n\nJohan’s ham-fisted quest to be accepted for who he is turn
s a film full of misanthropy and spite – something that ought by rights
to be as bleak as the landscape – into something almost sweet. Johan sur
prises us\, and not just with the occasional explosion in this weird-yet
-charming comedy.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:It all begins with a chance encounter as two men strike up a
conversation on a bus. Henry (Sean Harris) is a drifter with a mysteriou
s past\, and Paul (Steven Mouzakis) might just be able to offer him a lu
crative opportunity for some not-so-legal work through his friend\, Mark
(Joel Edgerton). The Stranger initially pulls you along with Henry for
the ride\, not really knowing what’s going on. But neither Henry or Mark
are who they appear to be\, and they soon find themselves entangled in
one of the nation’s largest police operations with the fate of a young b
oy at stake.\n\nMasterfully directed by Thomas M. Wright\, who uses ever
y trick in his bag to drive the film home\, The Stranger is a dark\, sop
histicated crime thriller that is unlike any you have seen. It gives Edg
erton one of his best roles to date\, and is among the best films – Aust
ralian or otherwise – of the year.\n\n\n-

DESCRIPTION:When ten-year-old Elliott (Henry Thomas) befriends an extra-t
errestrial who has become stranded on Earth\, he soon realises the littl
e guy needs his help. With assistance from his brother Michael (Robert M
acNauton) and little sister Gertie (Drew Barrymore)\, Elliott is determi
ned to make sure the homesick alien escapes capture by the government an
d finds a way to return to his home planet. \n \nAt its heart\, this is
a simple fantasy tale that works on many levels. Upon release in 1982\,
Steven Spielberg’s film surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossi
ng film of all time (only to be eclipsed 11 years later by another Spiel
berg film\, Jurassic Park). The critics didn’t think it was half-bad eit
her and it was nominated for nine Academy Awards\, winning four. Come al
ong and be enchanted by E.T. – whether you’re seeing the film for the fi
rst time\, or once again – in celebration of its 40th anniversary.\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Moonage Daydream explores the five-decade long creative and m
usical journey of David Hayward-Jones\, who you might know better as Dav
id Bowie. Visionary filmmaker Brett Morgen (Cobain: Montage of Heck) esc
hews the talking-head interviews with music journalists\, sound technici
ans and contemporaries usually seen in films like this in favour of a ps
ychedelic swirl of sound and vision more in keeping with Bowie’s own eni
gmatic style. \n\nNotably\, this is the first film about Bowie to be off
icially authorised by his estate\, and as such draws on previously unrel
eased footage from his personal archives\, including live concert footag
e. It takes its title from the 1971 Bowie song of the same name\, and fe
atures excerpts of nearly thirty of the iconic artist’s songs. Whether y
ou’re familiar with all of them or only a few\, this film is a visual an
d musical treat.\n\n\n-

that we might never experience ourselves otherwise – and this one certa
inly fits the bill by exploring the trauma cleaning industry through the

Specialised Trauma Cleaning Services.\n\nSandra\, a quick-witted woman i
n her early 70s\, has spent the last 30 years building one of Australia’
s most successful trauma cleaning businesses. The work is complex and me
ssy\, ranging from crime scene clean-up to hoarding and squalor sites\,
and cleaning the homes of society’s most vulnerable people. But as we so
on discover\, the people doing the cleaning – including Sandra – have of
ten had their lives shaped by adversity too.\n\nPacked with twists and t
urns\, Clean is equally a celebration of remarkable people and an explor
ation of the nature of trauma. Nominated for Best Documentary at the 202
2 AACTA Awards.\n\n\n-

of three friends – a doctor (Christian Bale)\, a lawyer (John David Wash

the only cinematographer ever to win three Oscars in a row.\n \nWeaving
historical fact with fiction\, Amsterdam tells a fascinating and richly

er (André Holland) have been on the run for years as a result of their t
errible addictive compulsions. Is it drugs? Alcohol? Not quite. \n\nThey
are 'eaters' – secret cannibals who live by carefully constructed rules
in their compulsion for human flesh. But when Maren is abandoned by her
father on her 18th birthday\, she heads off on a mission across America
in search of her mother\, who might be able to shed light on why she is
the way she is. Along the way\, she falls in love with Lee (Timothée Ch
alamet)\, an intense\, beautiful runaway with whom she attempts to make
a life together.\n\nNot quite Hannibal Lecter\, the cannibalism in this
bloody parable is closer to a metaphor for marginalisation. And it’s thr
ough this warped lens of innocence that director Luca Guadagnino (Call M
