“A wry, Jarmuschian musing on the human connections and possibilities that spark in the most unexpected places." – OBSERVER
Get ready for the next film night featuring Fremont, a poignant and gently humorous immigrant story.
The film follows Donya, a young Afghan who moved to Fremont, California after serving as a translator for the American army, spends her days working at a fortune cookie factory and her nights wide awake battling between her desire to rebuild her life and the overbearing guilt she carries within. In a bid to connect with the world, she sends an unconventional message through a fortune cookie.
Tinged with Jarmuschian deadpan humour, this sensitive immigrant tale packs a breakout performance by real-life refugee Anaita Wali Zada. Brought to life by the empathetic efforts of a talented cast and further distinguished by striking black-and-white cinematography, Fremont takes a thoughtful -- and wryly funny -- look at the immigrant experience.
Critics are raving that Fremont is, "A sweet, low-key charmer with an achingly sympathetic performance from Zada at its centre." - The Times
"Babak Jalali’s black-and-white indie drama strikes a beautiful tone with deadpan humour, elevated by Zada’s quietly poignant performance." – Variety
Catch this remarkable film on Friday, 4th October, 7:30 PM at the Cook Theatre at Ooralea’s CQU campus.
