Sun 22 Sep 2024
Join us for the Melbourne Premiere of Greek-Australian filmmaker Bill Mousoulis’ new feature film; a musical set in the Adelaide Hills.
A contemporary and innovative musical from Bill Mousoulis – one of Australia’s veteran independent filmmakers – My Darling in Stirling is his 11th feature in a career spanning 40 years. The film is a low-budget community effort, highlighting the town of Stirling situated in the Adelaide Hills. A fairy-tale but realist musical, where every line is sung, it is a joyful but also melancholic film, about lost innocence. My Darling in Stirling is inspired by the all-singing 1964 film directed by Jacques Demy, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.
There will be a filmmaker introduction prior to the screening and a Q&A after the film, moderated by film critic Philippa Hawker.
A dream film, a bittersweet celebration of ordinary life.
