West Of Sunshine

Director: Jason Raftopoulos

Country: Australia

Running Time: 83′

UK Premiere

Year: 2017

Critically acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival where Variety called Jason Raftopoulos’s father-and-son thriller an “impressive feature debut”, and the Guardian rapped that the “down at heel Aussie Vibe that prompts one to set it alongside other recent bawlers and brawlers, such as Kriv Stenders’ Boxing Day or David Michod’s Animal Kingdom,” West of Sunshine is a dynamic Melbourne set adventure about a father’s attempt to pay off a vicious loan shark being hindered by his childcare responsibilities.
