DESCENT
“When you learn to cope with cold water immersion, it’s going to help you cope with stress, fear, anxiety, and all other kinds of negative emotions.” This is a quote from this healing film that pushes your limits on comfort, tolerance, endurance, pain, and danger.

THE PLASTIC HOUSE
A hypnotic contemplative reflection of the past through the present. This is quite a very quiet film as it painstakingly plows through the garden of familial memories of an Asian-Australian upbringing.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF HAPPINESS
Starts with a humble slow cooking of sour eel vegetable stew and fried fish by the mother of the bride-to-be and culminates with a Vietnamese wedding to her Korean husband. Along the way is a fascinating portrait of countryside Vietnam with all its dainty and exotic customs, colours, and flavours.
