BOMB HARVEST
Tutor Screening
Screening at the Sydney Film Festival this year is Metro Screen tutor Kim
Mordaunt’s film.
A huge live US aircraft bomb is found behind a village school in Laos and
straight-talking Australian bomb disposal specialist Laith Stevens arrives
to check it out. He’s in the process of training a new ‘big
bomb’ team, so reluctantly leaves it until the team is up to the task.
Reluctant, because rural poverty has triggered a brisk illegal trade in
bomb scrap metal that the local children are increasingly drawn to.
“Bomb Harvest vividly depicts the consequences of war and the
unimaginable bravery of those trying to clear up the mess.” –
Jenny Neighbour, Program Manager, Sydney Film Festival

DENDY FILMS
Lucky Miles
Win a double pass to an exclusive preview screening of the film on Monday
9th July @ 6:30pm at Dendy Opera Quays (2 East Circular Quay, Sydney)
Lucky Miles is an Australian comedy based on a collection of true
stories about refugees in Australia and will be released nationally in cinemas
on July 19. What differentiates Lucky Miles from other films is that it
deals with inherently political material in an accessible, entertaining
and slightly absurdist fashion. It reduces the politics to the personal,
providing insight and engagement through the defiance and humanity of its
characters.
It's 1990 and an Indonesian fishing boat abandons Iraqi and Cambodian refugees
in a remote part of the Western Australia. Whilst most are quickly caught
by officials, three men with nothing in common but their misfortune and
determination escape arrest and begin an epic journey into the heart of
Australia. Pursued by an army reservist unit, our three heroes wander deeper
into the desert, desperately searching for civilization amongst the stones
of the Pilbara.
Lucky Miles. A bittersweet comedy about distance, difference and
dud maps. Based on a collection of true stories.
All you need to do to win is email Katrina at

Miles’ in the subject and be sure to include your full name, address
