BUNINYONG FILM FESTIVAL
presented by the Buninyong and District Community Bank
24 & 25 May 2024
The Buninyong Film Festival enjoys bringing highly acclaimed Australian and International films to the big screen to the historic village of Buninyong, and giving the community access to films that would not normally be seen outside of Melbourne.
HIT THE ROAD
SATURDAY 25 MAY, 2pm
1hr 33mins, Iran
An Iranian family embarks on a road trip across their country. The family comprises a wisecracking, weary father with a leg in plaster, a mother whose anxiety is alleviated by songs, their hyperactive six-year-old son, the troubled elder brother who is of an age he might be facing military service, and their sick dog.
THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE
SATURDAY 25 MAY, 4pm
1hr 38mins, Germany
When one of her students is suspected of theft, teacher Carla decides to get to the bottom of the matter. Caught between her ideals and the school system, the consequences of her actions threaten to break her. Nominated for an Academy Award for 2024 Best International Film.
