ANU Film Group Screening – La Chimera
Event description
PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF ITALY
In 1980s Tuscany, Arthur (Josh O'Connor) is a melancholic British archaeologist with a unique gift: a dowsing ability that allows him to locate ancient Etruscan tombs. Haunted by his dark past and a long-lost love, Arthur navigates a clandestine world of treasure hunting, folklore, and profound longing, eventually joining a colourful band of “tombaroli” – tomb raiders – who plunder ancient artifacts.
La Chimera premiered to a nine-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and earned widespread critical praise, cementing its place as a unique and enchanting cinematic experience that explores heritage, loss, and the allure of the past. Featuring stunning cinematography which alternates between film formats, it is a captivating and enchanting journey into Italy's ancient heart.
