In anticipation of Warwick Thornton’s new film Wolfram, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, we are excited to present a single session of Sweet Country (2017).

Inspired by real events, Sweet Country is a period western set in 1929 in the outback of the Northern Territory. When Aboriginal stockman Sam (Hamilton Morris) kills a white station owner in self defence, Sam and his pregnant wife Lizzie (Natassia Gorey-Furber) go on the run. They are pursued across the outback, through glorious but harsh desert country. Sergeant Fletcher (Bryan Brown) leads the posse with the help of a tracker and local landowners Fred Smith (Sam Neill) and Mick Kennedy (Thomas M. Wright). Eventually,  Sam decides to give himself up and is put on trial. But will justice be served?

Wolfram is a loose sequel to Sweet Country featuring some of the same actors and characters. Our season starts on May 7.

Session times:

Tue 5 May - 7:00pm

Tickets available from the venue.
