Coming to Avoca Beach, New South Wales, Australia – PRETTY STRONG presented by Sea to Summit – Outdoor Gear and Black Diamond!

Get behind Pretty Strong – created by the all-women production team Never Not Collective. Pretty Strong is a climbing film about women, by women, and for everyone.

From 5.13 big walls in Yosemite to 5.14 sport climbs in Mexico to V14 boulder problems in Colorado, Pretty Strong follows eight of the world’s strongest female climbers as they explore new climbing areas, send hard projects, and push the boundaries of the sport and themselves. Putting bad-ass ladies front and center, this isn’t a film about gender imbalance, or the sexualization of women, or what it’s like to have your period at the crag.

This is a film about some of the best climbers in the world—some you know, some you don’t—doing what they do best: crushing hard rock climbs. Your palms will sweat from the dizzying heights, your imagination will expand with the breathtaking landscapes, and your motivation will soar from the determination and try-hard of these strong women.

Featured Climbers: Nina Williams, Katie Lambert, Daila Ojeda, Hazel Findlay, Isabelle Faus, Fernanda Rodriguez, and more.

*PLEASE NOTE: we’ve now implemented social distancing seating to make sure you’re at least 3 seats from patrons not in your group.

3 and 4 September screenings are SOLD OUT. A 5 September screening at Dendy Newtown has been added, you can find the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/334407427721090/

When two of Barbora Kysilkova’s most famous paintings get stolen in Oslo, the Czech artist decides to confront one of the accused in court. Unable to discover what happened to her artwork, she instead asks if she can paint the thief’s portrait—a surprising request that he agrees to. What follows is an extraordinary story of human connection and friendship.

Filmed over three years and full of twists and turns, Benjamin Ree’s documentary skillfully plays with chronology and perspectives to build an edge-of-your-seat narrative worthy of the best fiction scripts. Throughout the film, our understanding of both people—and even the stolen paintings—changes entirely. In life, certain aspects of human nature defy comprehension, and yet Ree materializes them in a way that is accessible and transcendent.

“Incredible. That’s the word that comes to mind with Benjamin Ree’s The Painter and the Thief, a stranger-than-fiction friendship story in which vérité techniques produce unbelievable results.“ — Variety

“The year’s most moving documentary…” — The Guardian

EXPLORE THE FULL PROGRAM https://www.sff.org.au/tff/program/huskisson

When two of Barbora Kysilkova’s most famous paintings get stolen in Oslo, the Czech artist decides to confront one of the accused in court. Unable to discover what happened to her artwork, she instead asks if she can paint the thief’s portrait—a surprising request that he agrees to. What follows is an extraordinary story of human connection and friendship.

Filmed over three years and full of twists and turns, Benjamin Ree’s documentary skillfully plays with chronology and perspectives to build an edge-of-your-seat narrative worthy of the best fiction scripts. Throughout the film, our understanding of both people—and even the stolen paintings—changes entirely. In life, certain aspects of human nature defy comprehension, and yet Ree materializes them in a way that is accessible and transcendent.

“Incredible. That’s the word that comes to mind with Benjamin Ree’s The Painter and the Thief, a stranger-than-fiction friendship story in which vérité techniques produce unbelievable results.“ — Variety

“The year’s most moving documentary…” — The Guardian

Oscar nominated director David France (How to Survive a Plague, The Life and Death of Marsha P. Johnson) gives a voice to the survivors and activists on the ground, in this urgent and vital exposé of the ongoing attack on Chechen LGBTIQ+ people’s lives.

President of the Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has overseen a brutal campaign by government security officials to “cleanse the blood” of the Chechen people since 2016, detaining, torturing, and executing LGBTIQ+ people.

Facing growing prejudice and danger, a group of activists mobilised to help the victims of this violent regime. Despite limited experience and resources, they formed a vast secret network of people working to locate, shelter, and smuggle those in jeopardy out of the country, often at great personal risk.

Provided unprecedented access to the day-to-day workings of the underground pipeline, this powerful film offers much-needed insights into the personal struggles of the survivors of this vicious purge and those working to save them. Equal parts gripping and chilling, Welcome to Chechnya is an unflinching investigation into a current humanitarian crisis that’s confronting but essential viewing.

“David France has created a true masterwork of LGBT empathy… This is one of the best documentaries of the year.” — Culture Vultures

Screening in partnership with Queer Screen – Mardi Gras Film Festival

Where his prior film, the acclaimed epic Aquarela (Antenna 2018), was a reminder of the fragility of human tenure on earth, in Gunda, master filmmaker Viktor Kossakovsky reminds us that we share our planet with billions of other animals.

Gunda is the protagonist of this gentle black-and-white documentary triptych. She takes care of her little ones, accompanies them on a journey of discovery, and then takes a break to recharge her batteries. She tentatively approaches the camera. Does she know what her fate is? What might she be thinking? What does she think of us? Gunda is one of several hundred million pigs that inhabit the planet, alongside a billion cattle, represented in the film by two gracefully mooing cows, and over 20 billion chickens, exemplified here by a one-legged chicken stumbling its way through the world.

Whether rooting through the mud, swatting away flies, or searching for worms, they all are heroes. And film essayist Victor Kossakovsky is and remains adamant: after this film, meat consumption is impossible. His indignation about the ignorance of humans in general and the degradation of these creatures, in particular, flows into his conceptually minimalist, but visually brilliant meditation. Gunda is an intimate portrait. An intervention in the form of a modest gesture. A film that ascribes majestic greatness to the underdogs. And makes us think. In the very least. (Berlin Film Festival)

“A landmark film from a bracingly original filmmaker” — Hollywood Reporter

“You don’t have to be an animal lover to appreciate the craft and the genuine poetic vision of a film which, though strictly unsentimental, is intensely moving, transfixing, and quite genuinely unique.” — Screen International

Brazen Hussies reveals for the first time, an exciting and revolutionary chapter in Australian history, the Women’s Liberation Movement (1965 -1975). Interweaving freshly uncovered archival footage, personal photographs, memorabilia and lively personal accounts from activists all around Australia, Brazen Hussies shows us how a daring and diverse group of women joined forces to defy the status quo, demand equality and create profound social change. These women defined one of the greatest social movements of the 20th Century, at times at great personal cost. This documentary is full of the raw energy and determination that fueled feminism for the next 50 years.
