It is something that everybody identifies with because everybody has made a paper plane.
Robert Connolly

Twelve-year-old Dylan is a country boy with lots of energy and a passion for making and flying paper planes. After proving his paper-plane-flying prowess in the national competition in Sydney, he travels to Japan to compete in the world championship. For Dylan, winning is less important than being able to share his adventure with his father.

Robert Connolly's entertaining and heartfelt film highlights themes of family, creativity and connection.

Our program begins with a 20-minute introduction focusing on themes and film language, and is supported by a classroom resource.
