Gatwick the Last Chance Hotel: Screening and Director Q&A
Location
About
Join us at St Kilda Library for a special screening of Gatwick: The Last Chance Hotel followed by a Q&A with Director Jason Byrne to highlight Homelessness Week 2024.
“Gatwick: The Last Chance Hotel chronicles the final years of the Gatwick Private Hotel, a boarding house that over the years became a local and then national icon. Before a forced closure and sale in 2017 the building was halfway home to a few, home to many. Gatwick Private Hotel housed a rag tag menagerie of characters who either lived in, frequented or volunteered their time, all under the caring eyes of Rose and Etty, known locally as ‘The Saints of St Kilda’.”
Jason Byrne has produced the feature films Brothers’ Nest, Sucker, Rats and Cats (with director Tony Rogers) and Little Deaths (winner of best feature film at SPAA, 2008). He is currently in production on feature films The Girls and No Prisoners, all of which received recent development funding.
