Sydney here we come!

The Brooklyn Arts Hotel was in downtown Fitzroy, Melbourne, and while rather a well-kept secret, it hosted over 25,000 guest stays during its 15 years of operation.

What a joy to screen TO THANK THE ROOM at Cinema Nova, to an almost full house and a warm and enthusiastic audience. There were tears, and there were lots of laughs, and the reviewers that count the most - the audience - had beautiful things to say about their experience of the film.

There are lots of big, important stories but sometimes we just need a warm, funny and moving cinema story to inspire and uplift.

If that sounds like just the ticket, the fab team at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival have added an encore session: Wednesday 31st July 6:30pm.

Maggie and Belinda will be there. Come and say hi!

Thank you
