Beneath Clouds (2002)
amazing cinematography, thoughtfull story
a story of a young half-caste aboriginal girl in australia who is on a journey from her broken home in the country to sydney where her father, an irishman, lives. On her journey she meets a young boy who is on his way home aswell, after escaping a youth detention camp in the outback. The theme of conflict between Australian aboriginals and whites is presented in the journey. The boy is heading towards a future of problems and she is on her way to hope. I saw this movie at the Australian international film festival in sydney and had a chance to talk with the director after. It was two years ago but when i sit down to start a new script i am always reminded of this films subtle beauty and perfect structure. an amazing piece of art, i highly recommend it
Protection (2000)
the preceding plot summary is not accurate.
real plot summary: a reflective docu-drama of a Surrey, Canada family social worker dealing with real issues in a real world. very, very Surrey. This film is not to be taken lightly, its content is very disturbing and for the most part, accurate. Perfect reference for an essay.
