We Were Just Little Boys

Between 1924 to 1970, Kinchela Boys Home in Kempsey, New South Wales, saw an estimated 400 to 600 Aboriginal children exposed to routine acts of cultural genocide and remains one of Australia’s most notorious institutions of the Stolen Generations. After being stolen from their families, country, and community, children were stripped of their names, given numbers, and subjected to ‘reprogramming’ and strict regimes of manual labour. We Were Just Little Boys is narrated by KBH survivors.

Deflated Dreams

In a used-car yard lives Tony, a wacky, waving inflatable-tube man, who dreams of being more than just an advertising gimmick. Spending his days flapping in the wind and peeking in the office window, Tony is mesmerised by a commercial for an all-new, shiny red convertible. Whisked away by his imagination, he dreams of a world beyond his own and a life behind the wheel. As time moves on, Tony becomes as tired and worn as the used-car yard. But when the car he’s longed for finally arrives in the dealership, Tony is forced to break his limits to protect his dream from a group of thieves.

Freedom Swimmer

Olivia Martin McGuire (China Love) parallels a grandfather’s journey to safety during the Cultural Revolution with his granddaughter’s fight for freedom in Hong Kong today. Interweaving unflinching testimony of the elder’s exodus from the Chinese mainland, exquisitely animated recreations of the perilous escape to Hong Kong through land and sea, and vivid, evocative archival footage of both mid-20th-century China and the Hong Kong protests today, Freedom Swimmer emerges as a gripping and timely account of the struggle for survival across generations.

Road to Pride

Mt Isa neighbours, Rex and Frankie, hit the road to Sydney's Mardi Gras to piece together the missing pieces of their lives before they lose all the colour in their lives and fade away forever. Both are searching for the impossible: Rex for his dead boyfriend and Frankie for her future self. As the landscape changes from vast outback to eucalypt woodland to shiny urban sprawl, their banged-up Corolla gets a flat tyre, the engine melts, and all seems lost when they swerve to avoid a feral pig. Only with the unexpected help of a Bikie and a Grey Nomad, do Rex and Frankie transform, find what they've lost, and celebrate with pride.

Gondwana

Located in Far North Queensland, the Daintree is a staggering 180 million years old and has been named the second-most irreplaceable World Heritage area on the planet by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. For millennia, it has existed in fruitful cohabitation with the local Kuku Yalanji people. However, as with most of Earth’s natural wonders, this 1200-square-metre rainforest has become threatened by the lasting climatic changes brought about by colonisation and industrialisation.
