Jordan Giusti

Welcome to the Cinema Australia Podcast.

In this episode, I’m joined by Floodland director Jordan Giusti to discuss this very topical documentary set in flood-prone Lismore, where residents face life-changing decisions after devastating floods. A man copes pragmatically, his friend turns activist, and an Indigenous social worker builds a healing centre.

Jordan is an award-winning director based in Naarm (Melbourne).

Prior to Floodland, Jordan completed numerous short films, including Grevillea and Reptile, which we also discuss here.

Jordan is also a two-time Australian Directors Guild Awards nominee for his short film work and has had notable festival screenings.

As regular Cinema Australia readers and listeners will know, I usually publish my interviews prior to a film’s release, but I was a bit late with this one as I’ve been on WA Made Film Festival duties over here in Perth.

Floodland is still screening at some cinema locations, so be sure to check out the film’s website.

Anyway… enjoy.
