Floodland and Q&A with Film makers

About
A deeply moving story of love and loss set in the northern NSW town of Lismore, Australia’s most flooded postcode and site of the nation’s most costly climate disaster.Focusing on several residents, director Jordan Giusti (Grevillea, SFF 2020) filmed over three years as a series of catastrophic floods tested community resilience. Lismore born and bred Eli loves his flood-prone town and recently purchased a home with a view down the creek. He’s a pragmatic guy: if flooding is predicted, he’ll just move the washing machine and stock up on beers. Eli’s friend Harper, tired of political complacency, turns to activism, while Carlie Atkinson, a Bundjalung-Yiman social worker, sets up a groundbreaking First Nations healing centre. With trauma bubbling up and talk of government buybacks dividing neighbours, locals must question whether they can find the strength and spirit to stay.
