Tuesday 8 December | 6pm
High Ground (105 Minutes)
Loyalties are tested when a bounty hunter recruits a young tracker to help pursue the remnants of his tribe violently resisting white colonisers. Starring Simon Baker and Witiyana Marika, this sumptuously filmed western set in the Northern Territory is the most important Australian film of the year.

Tuesday 8 December | 8:30pm
Another Round (116 Minutes)
In this acclaimed and boisterous comedy drama, four teachers test the theory that the best way to get through a day is slightly inebriated. Of course, all hell breaks loose. Winner Best Actor for the ensemble at the 2020 San Sebastian Film Festival.

Wednesday 9 December | 6pm
Disclosure (84 Minutes)
Disclosure is a tense psychological drama inspired by real events, a great example of independent Australian cinema.
When a 4-year-old girl makes a serious allegation against a politician’s 9-year-old son, an attempt by the children’s parents to tackle the issue in a cooperative way soon degenerates into a vicious confrontation.

Wednesday 9 December | 8pm
Yer Old Faither (84 Minutes)
“John Croall delivered three generations of babies and planted thousands of trees in Whyalla. He was also a great letter writer, and this very personal documentary uses these letters as its point of departure. Heather Croall films with her father as a way of coping with his approaching death and reflecting on the close, and often very funny, relationship between a father and a daughter.”
