Lerryn Film Club - AGM and Film

Thursday 25th April 2024

Existing and prospective members of our Film Club are invited to join us for our AGM at 7.00pm and/or for the screening of Hit the Road at 7.45pm.

The film follows a family of four -- two middle-aged parents and their sons, one a taciturn adult, the other an ebullient six-year-old -- as they drive across the Iranian countryside. Over the course of the trip, they bond over memories of the past, grapple with fears of the unknown, and fuss over their sick dog. Unspoken tensions arise and the film builds emotional momentum as it slowly reveals the furtive purpose for their journey. The result is a humanist drama that offers an authentic, raw, and deeply sincere observation of an Iranian family preparing to part with one of their own.
