Thanks to a special Create NSW initiative, Travelling Film Festival is thrilled to announce it’s return back to Orange, screening at Odeon 5 Cinemas from 23-25 July 2021. This specially curated line-up includes titles from 2021 Oscars, Cannes, Venice, Sundance, San Sebastian and other major film festivals and comprises of seven acclaimed feature films, a superb documentary, and two delightful Australian short films.

Headlining the programme direct from Palm Springs International Film Festival is Australian drama DISCLOSURE by Australian filmmaker Michael Bentham. Set in the rich landscape of Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges (ancestral home of the Wurundjeri people), this thought provoking drama is inspired by real-life events, and explores the paths parents will take to protect their own no matter what the consequences maybe.

Other stories from around the globe include Award winning director Icíar Bollaín’s (The Olive Tree, Yuli) ROSA’S WEDDING, following forty-something Rosa who presses the ‘stop’ button on everyday pressures, making a shocking announcement that no one can accept or believe; the poignant Italian story THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS, about a dwindling group of joyful old men and their faithful dogs in the hunt for the world’s most expensive ingredient: the white Alba truffle; LUNANA: A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM, a TFF audience favourite and selected for Berlinale, this gem from Bhutan was beautifully shot in the high-altitude peaks of the Himalayas; and, filmmakers Ainsley Gardiner and Briar Grace Smith (Waru 2017) weave a beautiful story set in New Zealand over six decades with COUSINS, that follows the lives of three cousins who share a strong bond even as they are separated by unfortunate events.

Additional festival highlights included in the program are: Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film ANOTHER ROUND, featuring festival favourite Mads Mikkelsen (The Hunt, Hannibal) in a tragicomedy that combines science, alcohol and midlife defiance; THE PERFECT CANDIDATE directed by Saudi Arabia’s first female director Haifaa Al-Mansour, is a revealing look at the changing role of women in Saudi Arabia; and to wrap up the program, FALLING, Viggo Mortensen’s (Green Book, The Lord of The Rings Trilogy) directorial debut drama, in which he also co-stars as a weary son who attempts to reconcile with his formidable father (a fiery Lance Henriksen, Aliens).

To further celebrate Australian cinema, TFF is proud to showcase the local premiere of two Australian short films: BAMA, following the reflections of a young Aboriginal boy after his first day at school in the big city; and DWARF PLANET, a poignant story that explores an encounter of a lonely, awkward teenager and a male sex worker on a brisk morning in suburban Sydney.
