Enjoy a short presentation showcasing entries from the community art competition before a screening of KANGAROO. A heart-warming family comedy about ex TV personality, Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in an Outback town outside Alice Springs. There, he teams up with 12-year-old Indigenous girl Charlie. The pair form an unlikely friendship and work together to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned joeys in the remote but stunning Outback community - an endeavour that proves to be life-changing for them both.
The movie is inspired by the life of Chris ‘Brolga’ Barns, founder of The Kangaroo Sanctuary, Alice Springs.
KANGAROO was the highest grossing Australian film of 2025, cementing its place as one of the most beloved Australian films of recent years.
