"Big Screen" film festival coming to Yamba 4-6 April 2008

The Australian Film Commission's 2008 Big Screen film festival is on its way to Yamba.
The festival runs between Friday 4 April and Sunday 6 April 2008, with screenings at both Yamba cinemas.
 
Highlights of this year's festival include:
  • Meet Wendy Hughes, the star of Careful He Might Hear You and Return to Eden at the NSW premiere of her new film, The View From Greenhaven Drive
  • A fantastic double bill with My Brilliant Career and The Man Who Sued God
  • Fabulous free school screenings, including Dr Plonk and The Caterpillar Wish
  • Our Town and short films by local Indigenous filmmakers
  • A special family screening of Elephant Tales
Out Town is of special interest to the Clarence Valley as it is "A spirited film by young locals about the importance of the Clarence River to their lives and to their Indigenous culture. When the government proposes a dam, how do they feel?"
There is a free showing of this film at Yamba's Treelands Drive Cinema on Sunday 6 April at 5.15pm.
