Cinema happenings in Perth
Stubbornly Here
Don't miss this local WA made indie film which held its World Premiere at Revelation Film Festival in July. . . Small town Australia, the last day of school. Year 11 students, the idealist Sunny and abrasive PJ, witness several other kids suddenly vanish into thin air at a bus stop. No noise, no sudden explosion, just an empty space where they used to be. A year passes with no further explanations or solutions, but thousands of people under the age of 18 going missing. The Backlot Perth – Sunday 25 August 2pm – tickets from Eventbrite.
