ANU Film Group Screening – Monument

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ANU SCHOOL OF MUSIC

2026 APRA Screen Music Award nominee — Feature Film Score of the Year

In 1999, as Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon nears its breaking point, renowned Israeli architect Yacov Rechter is commissioned to design a monument honouring fallen soldiers of the Christian South Lebanon Army. His idealistic son and apprentice, Amnon, challenges him to build something radically different: a memorial for all victims of the war — Christian and Muslim alike. As father and son clash over loyalty, complicity and art, their creative journey mirrors that of a nation divided, and the monument becomes a haunting symbol of a peace that never lasts.

The screening will be introduced by ANU Professor of Music and film composer Ken Lampl, whose score for Monument has been nominated for Feature Film Score of the Year at the 2026 APRA Screen Music Awards. Following the film, Ken will take part in a Q&A discussing the score, his creative process and the role of music in the film.
