- DirectorOliver TorrMatt ZeremesStarsCeleste BarberBianca BiasiWinston CooperShot in inner city Sydney, Burke and Wills is about two young men - Burke, a fragile, troubled soul; and Wills, a naive, talkative dreamer - going through a life transition. The two are thrown together in a share house after Wills outstays his welcome in the home of his girlfriend, and a newspaper classified ad leads him to Burke, who has a room to rent. The beginnings of an awkward relationship develop through beer-assisted conversations about cooking, travel, and the importance of satisfactory toilet visits. Common, everyday events lead the two men to open up about their lives. When Burke's much loved grandmother dies, his already fragile state is put under serious strain. Burke financially benefits from his grandmother's death which irrevocably changes his trajectory, shattering his fragile sense of stability and self. Burke's downfall inspires Wills to re-think his life and ultimately leads him to adopt a more conventional path. From this point, Burke and Wills' relationship splinters, and the two withdraw into worlds of their own where the other becomes the enemy. The areas the two have tried to keep hidden from the world begin to emerge, creating an inhospitable environment, impossible for both to live in...
- DirectorAdrian Russell WillsAlbert HartnettStarsThe Dixon FamilyThe Ebsworth FamilyThe Gibson FamilyThis film is about racism, a housing estate and inequality in a small country town. It is about life, family and overall disadvantage and frustration with not having the opportunities because of the colour of your skin. A small infamous housing estate in Dubbo, NSW, is under demolition. After a riot on New Years Eve 2006, the media dubbed the Gordon Estate the "Redfern of the Bush" and the housing department announced it's order for demolition. This predominantly Aboriginal community opens their doors for the first time, highlighting what they believe is a redneck racist town, where the colour of your skin determines the quality or lack of equality of life. In a town where drugs, welfare and hopelessness, survives only to challenge the resolve of this community. We look at a white town through black eyes.
