Queensland Premiere – join us after the screening at The Angelika Cinemas for a Q&A with Director, Jaydon Martin.
Red Carpet from 1:00pm for a 1:40pm Screening.
Shot in striking black and white, Jaydon Martin’s directorial debut is part documentary about day-to-day life in coastal Queensland, with a cast playing themselves, and part dream like narrative.
A former drug addict whose life has been marked by tragedy, the frail Cass leaves Sydney and heads back to Bundaberg to take stock of his life. Religion helps console him, while drinking and partying help pass the time. Most touching of all is a budding friendship with Andrew, a Chinese-Australian chip-shop owner who is dealing with his own grief.
Cast: Cass Cumerford, Andrew Wong and Rob Sheea
Observational and contemplative, heartwarming and eerie, Flathead is a memorable portrait of regional Australia.
