The Daily Telegraph wrote of a recent solo show at Sydney’s City Recital Hall, “The tall and gangly front man charmed and cajoled his 600-strong audience with all the debonair flair of a Bryan Ferry… The stripped back accompaniment of the piano highlighted just how cleverly constructed his lyrics are — they sound so uncontrived, which is hellish difficult to do as any would-be songwriter will tell you.” — Steve Moffatt.

Opening the Festival is the Australian Premiere of LET THE RIVER FLOW (Ellos eatnu – La elva leve), fresh from being crowned the Audience Award at the 2023 Göteborg Film Festival, and starring magnetic newcomer and proud Sámi Ella Marie Hætta Isaksen. Based on true events that inspired a generation of young Norwegians, writer/director Ole Giæver’s elegant, multi award-winning drama follows a young woman who is unintentionally drawn into a protest against a dam that may flood Indigenous Sámi land.
Festival Centrepiece GODLAND (Volaða land) is award winning Icelandic writer/director Hlynur Pálmason’s follow-up to his breakout hit A White, White Day and has been met with widespread critical acclaim. The stunning historical drama follows a Danish priest who embarks on a pilgrimage across a largely unexplored Iceland in the late 1800s.
Treats are in store for lovers of Scandi neo-Noir, thrillers and psychological dramas. From Denmark the highly anticipated sequel to box office smash Darkland, DARKLAND: THE RETURN (Underverden II) from critically acclaimed director Fenar Ahmad starring Dar Salim as an anti-hero re-entering the Copenhagen underworld undercover; SUPERPOSITION, a slick dramatic thriller with a supernatural twist in which a couple, on a tree change from Copenhagen to the Swedish forest, hope to find themselves and reignite their relationship and COPENHAGEN DOES NOT EXIST (København findes ikke), a complex psychological drama about the power of memories, in which a young man agrees to be locked in an apartment and interrogated by his missing girlfriends’ father.
Crowned best Nordic film at the 2023 Göteborg Film Festival, UNRULY (Ustyrlig) is an unsettling 1930s-set drama inspired by real-life events from the notorious women’s institution on the Danish Island of Sprogø that taught compliance to ‘morally deficient’ girls.
Fascinating documentary THE KING (Kungen) is a thought-provoking and poetic film about Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, who became the world’s youngest kind. Two years in the making, direct Karin af Klintberg has made a modern film about a not very modern occupation.
The Closing Night selection is the cult classic LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (Låt den rätte komma in), celebrating its 15thanniversary. When Oskar, a shy 12-year-old boy meets the mysterious and moody Eli, their bond forever changes their lives in this influential tale of love that gets the blood pumping.

‘Monumental’ showcases the skills of Spaghetti Circus’ talented performance troupe in a huge new production that has something for everyone.
Watch these fabulous performers aged from 12-21 years fill the space from floor to ceiling and windows to walls with an array of phenomenal circus skills. Accompanied by a live band playing a selection of instruments including violin, guitar, piano, melodica and voice come and see Spaghetti Circus take over the Brunswick Picture House like you haven’t seen before.
“Monumental has grown out of a place of wanting to recognise the people that get overlooked in our society’s celebrations. The unsung heroes, the people who have said “I can do this” even if they were told they couldn’t,” says ‘Monumental’ director Spenser Inwood.
“We’ve been talking to the kids about their own monumental moments, big decisions in their lives and how they got to those decisions. We’ve looked at the hoops you have to jump through and the roadblocks along the way. We have also explored the monumental fails that need to occur to learn and grow.”
‘Monumental’ explores these themes by building monuments, metaphorically and literally with their bodies. Don’t miss your chance to see this original circus work made locally by our region’s talented young people.
