Australian drama from director Ana Kokkinos which examines the
fraught relationship between a number of mothers and their
children. The action of the film occurs in two distinct phases. The
first follows the seven children over the course of a single day as
they attempt to make it on their own in the unforgiving environment
of the urban streets; the second follows the various mothers on the
same day as, stricken with worry, they attempt to track down their
missing children. Gina (Victoria Haralabidou), who has deeply held
religious convictions, is haunted by the belief that her son has
been killed; Tanya (Deborra-Lee Furness), caring but overbearing,
threatens to make things worse with her child by accusing him of
stealing; while Rhonda (Frances O'Connor) is forced to face the
agonising truth that, though she loves them deeply, her children
may be better off without her.
Jamal and Bibi have a dream. To lead Australia to soccer glory in
the next World Cup. But first they must face landmines, pirates,
storms and assassins. Can Jamal and his family survive their
incredible journey and get to Australia? Adapted for the stage by
Patricia Cornelius from Morris Gleitzman's best-selling novel, Boy
Overboard depicts a deeply human side of the 'asylum seekers' issue
by following the journey of Jamal and Bibi from Afghanistan to
Australia. Based on real life events, this is a moving play about
young people overcoming the confusion of war, politics and the
search for a safe haven.
DO NOT GO GENTLE...In the world as we know it, full of aspiration
and glamour, there is something monstrous about coming to our end
full of regret. In Do Not Go Gentle, Patricia Cornelius introduces
us to a group of ageing characters out on the ice to face their
lives, their choices and their challenges. And they do it through
the goggles of the ill-fated Antarctic explorer Robert Scott. THE
BERRY MAN...The Berry Man follows four characters in a rural
community; a woman in her 40s, wanting a child, a Vietnam veteran
who inherits a farm and becomes determined to grow berries, his old
army buddy and a mysterious younger man who comes to stay...
