What’s On [Adelaide]: Free screening of community-made comedy drama, The Boat With No Name

The Mercury Cinema in Adelaide will host a free screening of The Boat With No Name, a comedy drama made in North East Arnhem Land.

Set amidst the raw beauty of North East Arnhem Land, a small community has lost its school teacher due to government cutbacks. With the chance inheritance of a boat they see this as an opportunity to start a business and find the money to buy their own teacher. Things don’t quite go as planned!

This unique film is a community project and a window into a part of Australia that is rarely seen.

The Boat With No Name stars a complete local cast from regional centre Nhulunbuy including Bella Baxter, Holly Sansone, Timmy Burarrwanga, Phil O’Brien, Valerie Dhamarrandji, Rita Gondarra, Charmaine Mununggurr, Jacko Angeles, Kevin O’Malley, Anna Gellet, Big Mike, Surf and Rob Stewart.

The Boat With No Name is written and directed by Phil O’Brien, with Timmy Burarrwanga acting as a cultural advisor on the film.

You can catch The Boat With No Name at Mercury Cinema in Adelaide on Thursday, 16 February at 7pm. More details here.
