Adelaide Film Festival: The Wizard of Oz
2022-10-23 13:00 - 15:00 UTC
Black and white farm life. Kinda boring, kinda scary when a nasty old lady has it in for your pooch. A tornado! Technicolor! Oz! A squashed witch! Munchkins! And so, we’re off to the Emerald City with Judy Garland to see the wizard. See it for the first time with your kids or see it for the hundredth time through the eyes of David Lynch. Dust off your ruby slippers and come on a hero’s journey that has delighted generations and inspired countless filmmakers (Star Wars, anybody? Lord of the Rings movies?) with the imaginative possibilities of classical Hollywood storytelling. Where else are you going to see green-faced villains whose minions include flying monkeys? No, indeed we’re not in Kansas—but now repeat after me: “There’s no place like home., There’s no place….”
“It somehow seems real and important in a way most movies don’t. Is that because we see it first when we’re young? Or simply because it is a wonderful movie? Or because it sounds some buried universal note, some archetype or deeply felt myth?” (Roger Ebert)

Adelaide Film Festival: Aftersun
2022-10-22 20:30 - 22:30
The breakout hit of this year’s Cannes, Aftersun is a revelation. In the late nineties, Sophie (Frankie Corio), an eleven-year-old Scottish girl, is enjoying a summer holiday in a budget Turkish resort with her divorced dad, Calum (Paul Mescal). Told through her vivid memories and affecting home videos, we steadily understand we are watching with the mind’s eye of the adult Sophie, piecing together formative moments alongside a revised picture of her father and his flaws, strengths, and struggles. Genuinely nostalgic but without ostentation, this heart-breaking debut will be impossible to forget.
“*****…a rather amazing debut” (The Guardian)
“Thanks to Wells’ wonderfully human characters, astute direction, and stellar performances, Aftersun truly is about the little moments that seem insignificant at the time but become the precious stuff we treasure as adults” (Next Best Picture)
“An assured, aching, vibrant debut by Wells, Aftersun is a shattering remembrance of a father by his daughter.” (RogerEbert.com)

Adelaide Film Festival: The Banshees of Inisherin
2022-10-22 18:00 - 20:00
Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, The Banshees Of Inisherin follows lifelong friends Pádraic (Colin Farrell) and Colm (Brendan Gleeson), who find themselves at an impasse when Colm unexpectedly puts an end to their friendship. A stunned Pádraic, aided by his sister Siobhán (Kerry Condon) and troubled young islander Dominic (Barry Keoghan), endeavours to repair the relationship, refusing to take no for an answer. But Pádraic’s repeated efforts only strengthen his former friend’s resolve and when Colm delivers a desperate ultimatum, events swiftly escalate, with shocking consequences.

Adelaide Film Festival: BROS
2022-10-21 21:30 - 23:30
Bros is an insightful and celebratory tribute to the diversity within LGBTQI+ culture. With great laugh out loud moments Bros is bound to creep into even the most cynical heart and mind. Bobby is a much-loved podcast host who prides himself on being an authority on queer culture, he is living his best life and unconcerned about finding “The One”. That is until it is all turned on its head when he meets Aaron, the great looking, hunky man in a dreary profession. Despite their many differences each senses a spark beyond the lust.

Adelaide Film Festival: Joyland
2022-10-20 20:30 - 22:30
The first Pakistani film to screen at Cannes, Joyland is a visually layered, heartfelt hybrid family drama/romance that gently hones in on the ways social taboos can restrict our true selves. The happily patriarchal Rana family live in the heart of the metropolitan yet conservative city of Lahore. As they eagerly anticipate the birth of a baby boy to continue the family line, youngest son Haider secretly takes up a job as a background dancer at an erotic theatre where he is drawn to an ambitious trans starlet, Biba. Their impossible love story slowly illuminates the entire Rana family’s desire for a sexual rebellion.

Adelaide Film Festival: My Policeman
2022-10-20 18:00 - 20:00
A tale of forbidden romance and changing social conventions.
A beautifully crafted story of forbidden love and changing social conventions, My Policeman follows three young people – policeman Tom (Harry Styles), teacher Marion (Emma Corrin), and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson)– as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain. Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett) are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past. Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.
