Join us for a special evening with acclaimed Australian writer/director/producer Rolf de Heer (Bad Boy Bubby, The Tracker, Dance Me To My Song, Ten Canoes). A master of cinematic film made on a modest budget, Rolf has won the Jury Prize for Un Certain Regard at Cannes, the Special Grand Jury Prize at Venice and the International Film Critics Prize at Venice. Writer / director Athina Tsoulis (I’ll Make You Happy, Jinx Sister) will talk to Rolf about how he has consistently made feature films for the international art house market, while developing a voice that is distinctly his own.
“His films consistently challenge moral conventions and push the boundaries of the filmmaker’s art.” – International Film Festival of India Rolf de Heer Retrospective
Stay afterwards for pizza courtesy of Nga Aho Whakaari (Auckland), a drink and an opportunity to chat with Rolf de Heer.
This event is a recommended introduction for those attending Rolf’s seminar and/or masterclass.
