The Pool + Luna and the Brain Tuna (short)

LUNA AND THE BRAIN TUNA (2024, Australia)

Directed by Aaron Lucas

Leo’s got something important to discuss with his 8-year-old daughter – he’s got a brain tumour. But when Luna hears ‘brain tuna’ her big imagination takes them both on a fantastical detour. Leo must embrace Luna’s fantastical worlds and use them, if not to make her understand entirely, at least to find strength in the face of his diagnosis.

THE POOL (feature)

Bondi Icebergs is the most photographed pool in the world. But in this gorgeously shot documentary, Ian Darling (The Final Quarter) shows there’s still much left to be revealed beneath its surface as we meet the diverse community for whom the pool is a place of strength, challenge, solace, meditation, rebuilding and connection.

Directed by Ian Darling.
