North Bellarine Film Festival

North Bellarine Film Festival Opening NIGHT
18 Nov, 2022 6:30pm - 9:30pm

HIGHGROUND 
Opening night is a great opportunity to meet other like-minded art film lovers.
Start the night with finger food from Pier Street Café and a wine from the bar (drinks at bar prices) before moving to the theatre for the official opening and the screening of the 2020 Australian film, High Ground, directed by Stephen Maxwell Johnson and stars Simon Baker, Jacob Junior Nayinggul and Jack Thompson. 

High Ground is a gripping action story as well as sobering commentary on colonialism, High Ground is a vividly engrossing attempt to grapple with Australian history. The film is based on historical events that took place in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia just after World War 1.

The film premiered at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival in 2020, with the Australian premiere at the Brisbane International Film Festival later that year.
