Enjoy a Mid-Winter FILM FEAST in Queenscliff

June 19, 2019 BY

In Oh Lucy, a lonely woman living in Tokyo decides to take an English class where she discovers her alter ego, Lucy.

The Low Light Festival is in full swing, and as part of the event Bellarine Lighthouse Films will present a three-day Mid Winter Film Feast from June 28-30 at Queenscliff Town Hall.

This film feast will feature handpicked fine art films sourced from around the world.

First up is “A boy called Sailboat” (Australia/Mexico/USA) on Friday June 28 at 7pm.

A Hispanic family finds hope in their extraordinary son named Sailboat when a personal gesture awakens a global desire.

Armed with a “little guitar”, Sailboat leads an offbeat cast into the miraculous story of the greatest secret never told.

Enjoy complementary wine and cheese on arrival followed by a Q&A with producer Andrew Curry.

Next up is “Oh Lucy” (Japan) on Saturday June 29 at 1pm, where a lonely woman living in Tokyo decides to take an English class where she discovers her alter ego, Lucy.

“WAJIB – The wedding invitation” (Palestine) is on Saturday June 29 at 3.30pm.

After several years living abroad, architect Shadi reluctantly returns to his hometown of Nazareth to fulfil a traditional Palestinian custom: handdelivering hundreds of invitations to his sister’s wedding.

“Under the tree” (Iceland) on Saturday June 29 June at 7.30pm follows a man who is accused of adultery and forced to move in with his parents and is gradually sucked into a dispute between them and their neighbours over an old and beautiful tree.

What starts as a typical spat between suburban neighbours unexpectedly and violently reaches boiling point, soon spiralling out of control.

And lastly, Capharnaum (Lebanon) is on Sunday June 30 at 11am.

Receiving a 15-minute standing ovation as well as the Jury Prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Nadine Labaki’s fable centres on a child attempting to divorce his parent for giving him life.

Zain, born in a family overwhelmed by too many children, slum neighbourhoods, a sister sold into marriage, deprivation and roaming the streets as the sole caretaker of an abandoned toddler – his grievances against the world and those who
brought him into it reverberate with righteous fury.
