Del Kathryn Barton | Australia | 2022 | 101 mins
Special event screening
Join us and some very special guests for this special screening of acclaimed Australian artist Del Kathryn Barton’s debut. Twelve-year-old Blaze (Julia Savage) is raised by her caring father, Luke (Simon Baker). When she witnesses a brutal crime on the streets, Blaze is faced with conflicting emotions of debilitating fear and a desire for justice. As she spirals uncontrollably, Luke does his best to help her through this crisis, but to little effect. An unlikely saviour enters the picture, a dragon that provides solace and courage to Blaze as she finds a path forward. A stunningly original and moving film, Blaze is a bold hybrid of live action, puppetry and animation, an ode to female courage and a celebration of the power of the imagination.
“Del Kathryn Barton’s feature film debut will take your breath away.” - Guardian
