Αυστραλία / Australia, 87′, 2022
age recommendation: 12+
With problems on the home front, 16-year-old Murra is on the verge of lashing out. That is, until her policeman uncle averts her self-destructive behaviour with a lifeline: a “photo-safari for at-risk kids”. Murra isn’t entirely convinced, but she soon joins cantankerous Kylie, highly-strung Sean, happy-go-lucky Elvis, and camp counsellors Fernando and Mitch on a transformative bus trip through the Pilbara. On the trail, the teens learn about friendship, first crushes and their true selves, as well as the forces of "reality" that puncture the bubble of youth.
Jub Clerc
She is a Nyul Nyul/Yawuru woman from the Kimberley in WA. Graduating from WAAPA’S 3 year acting course, she spent many years in theatre before moving into film and television, working on award winning productions. She has written and/or directed short films, documentaries and tv series. In 2014, she directed and adapted Abbreviation, a chapter from Tim Winton’s The Turning. She credits the experience of the Photo Safari as the inspiration for her life’s journey as a filmmaker. It is fitting that her first feature film should be inspired by this remarkable story.
