Travelling Film Festival: Toowoomba

The Travelling Film Festival (TFF) program will showcase six incredible feature films and four fascinating documentaries direct from the 66th Sydney Film Festival.

The Program:
Opening Night: Friday 6 September
Standing Up for Sunny: Breaking Bad’s RJ Mitte stars in this charming Australian rom-com about a loner with cerebral palsy who is roped into helping a comedian (Philippa Northeast) overcome her shyness.

Saturday 7 September
- The Final Quarter: Cheers turned to boos in the final years of AFL champion footballer Adam Goodes' career when he publicly called out racism. This impassioned film tracks Australia's heated response.
- Honeyland: Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at Sundance 2019, Honeyland is a sumptuous, poetic and funny portrait of a female beekeeper in the remote Macedonian countryside.
- The Heart Dances: The re-imagining of the iconic feature, The Piano, by two Czech dancers working with the Royal New Zealand Ballet: uncharted territory for all involved.
- Parasite: Winner of the 2019 Sydney Film Prize and Palme d'Or, renowned Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s follow-up to Okja (SFF 2017) is a thrilling, satirical take on income inequality as told through two families.
Screens with short film Doug the Human.
- Never Look Away: Inspired—controversially—by the life of German artist Gerhard Richter, this Oscar-nominated epic, from the director of The Lives of Others, recounts a remarkable love story.

Sunday 8 September
- Emu Runner: In an outback NSW town a young Indigenous girl forms a very special bond with a wild emu, in a unique Australian story of love and loss. Screens with short film Elders.
- Vai: With fabulously rich storytelling from the South Pacific: the imaginary figure Vai is every woman of every age. A beautifully crafted portmanteau feature by nine women filmmakers.
- Bellbird: This quietly powerful feature debut, told with warm humour, takes us into the heart of a farming community in New Zealand, and features a standout performance from Marshall Napier (Babe). Screens with short film Prone to the Drone.
- Kursk: Matthias Schoenaerts, Colin Firth and Léa Seydoux star in director Thomas Vinterberg’s (The Commune, SFF 2016) gripping account of the K-141 Kursk submarine disaster in 2000.
