VICTORIAN PREMIERE
Isla is a feisty, stubborn and resilient octogenarian who lives with Susan, who is a lesbian. But Isla won’t be pigeonholed, instead calling herself “a widow”, having been married previously to a man with whom she raised four children on her farm in country South Australia. Refusing to relinquish her passion for horse driving carriages, Isla remains active in her community no matter her age, even as the naysayers insist her time to slow down has come. A quirky new Aussie documentary feature screening fresh from its world premiere at this year’s Adelaide Film Festival, Isla’s Way observes an indomitable woman, community elder and miniature horse lover.
“AN ANTIDOTE TO THE INVISIBILITY TO OLDER WOMEN.” - ANNETTE BASILE, FILMINK
Screening followed by Q&A with director Marion Pilowsky and producer Georgia Humphreys
The Rooftop Cinema will host you with a fabulous bar and sausage sizzle (with vegan options) from 7:00pm. Screenings commencing at sundown (approximately 8:30pm). Enjoy a fine selection of cheese, crackers and goodies supplied by The Little Social – available for pre-purchase below, ready for collection when you arrive!
