Golden Koala Chinese Film Festival 2015
Spend the Chinese New Year with some of the country's latest cinematic exports.
Overview
One of the most prominent events of its kind outside of China, the Golden Koala Film Festival is back for another year. With engagements in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, this annual festival will once again showcase a selection of critically acclaimed Chinese movies — including multiple Australian premieres.
A black comedy about a reformed gangster who decides to open a kindergarten, Uncle Victory won the Grand Jury Prize at last year's Shanghai Film Festival. Other standouts include Tsang Tsui Shan's multigenerational documentary Flowing Stories and the critically acclaimed drama Blue Sky Bones (shot by award-winning Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle).
All films in the program will compete for the prestigious Golden Koala Award, which is bestowed by a jury of Australian filmmakers. Best of all, because the festival is designed to promote Chinese cinema, all the screenings are absolutely free.
