John Hughes' film is a timely reminder of the fragile state of independence in our filmmaking culture.
During the Cold War era of the 1940s and 50s, a small group of Australian film enthusiasts forged a local response to threats to freedom of speech through an engagement with social realist traditions.
Hughes' decades-long labour of love assembles many sources: home movies, ASIO surveillance tapes and excerpts from films by Melbourne's Realist Film Movement to weave together a poetic call to reflection on the challenges faced by dissenting voices in security-conscious times.
Includes Q&A with John Hughes.
World Premiere.
