THE TRACKER

 

 

"The Tracker is one of those rare films that deserves to be called haunting." (Roger Ebert)

There are four of them making their way through the wild country, tracking relentlessly. It is 1922. In charge is the Fanatic, cold, ruthless, calculating but complex. The second of the three whites is the Follower, a greenhorn, new to the outback. And there is the Veteran, a thinker rather than a doer. But the real leader, whether the others know it or not, is the Tracker himself, a mysterious figure who clearly isn't who he seems.

The Tracker makes it way to the big screen once again in commeration of its 15th year anniversary. The film marks the beginning of a remarkable creative partnership between David Gulpilil and experiemental visionary director Rolf de Heer, resulting in the award-winning Ten Canoes and Charlie's Country. Don't miss this special screening Sun 15 Oct, 3:45pm. 

 

 

 

GUILTY

 

 

Guilty highlights the last 72 hours of the convicted Myuran Sukumaran’s life and the paintings he created during that time.

The film blends narrative sequences with archival and documentary material to create a deeply personal story about grief, art and redemption.

As the fixed date of death looms, the clinical brutality of capital punishment is contrasted with the optimism of Myuran’s art.
