NFS SHORT FILM SHOWCASE
Wednesday 27 March 10am, 2:30pm, 5pm, 7:30pm A diverse selection of six powerful short films from emerging young film-makers, this program includes three award-winning films
So-Young is a Korean single mother raising her adolescent son Dong-Hyun in the suburbs of Canada during the 90s. Determined to provide a better life for him than the one she left behind in her native country, she does her best to overcome the constant racial and cultural challenges that confront them.
As Dong-Hyun gets older, he becomes increasingly curious about his Korean heritage and in particular, about his deceased father.
Then sudden devastating news prompts the mother and son to return to South Korea for the first time since their initial departure with hopes of reconnecting to their roots and reconciling their tragic past.
The film-maker recounts his childhood years in a heartfelt, universal story about belonging. – Whang Lee Ling, The Straits Times, Singapore
Riceboy Sleeps is imbued with strains of compassion, grace, and gentleness. A genre powered by poignancy. – Namrata Joshi, The New Indian Express

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.
The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
Members can book at the Cinema box office or online via the Events Cinema website from 12 noon on the Thursday preceding the Film Society screening date. Members can book a maximum of two tickets in one transaction (ie one for themselves and one for a partner/friend who must also be a member).
