Ballarat Film Society Screening: Leave no Trace

  • Ballarat Mechanics Institute 117 Sturt Street Ballarat Central, VIC, 3350 Australia (map)

The Ballarat Film Society screens an eclectic program of films on the big screen.
March 12, 7.00pm, Screening: Leave No Trace

USA, 2018, 108 min. Dir: Debra Granik

American Survivalist Adventure
 
Director Debra Granik (Winter’s Bone, 2010) is renowned for her portrayal of marginalised outsiders. This poignant, yet beautiful film tells the soulful tale of a reclusive veteran father and his daughter who live "off the grid” in the national parks and forests of Oregon. Will (Ben Foster) and his daughter Tom (New Zealand newcomer, Thomasin McKenzie) enjoy their freedom and connection to nature in this pristine and beautiful part of America.

Whilst living in a camouflaged encampment they are detected, interrogated, and forced to re-enter the modern world. Essentially a coming-of-age story, and loosely based on actual war veterans’ stories, Tom says it all as she decides whether to continue her life living off the land, telling her father “what’s wrong with you, isn’t wrong with me”. Amalgamated Films.
