You are warmly invited to join us for the Southern Highlands premiere of The Pool, a captivating new film directed by Ian Darling. The film debuted to rave reviews at this year’s Sydney Film Festival.
Bondi Icebergs is the most photographed pool in the world. For nearly a century this spectacular 50 metre stretch of sparkling blue at the southern end of Bondi Beach has occupied a special corner in the hearts of millions.This is where generations of children have learnt to swim, where the diehard have braved the frigid waters of one hundred winters, where the young and beautiful have come to bond and bake in the hot sun, and where sightseers from around the world have taken refuge during the scorching heights of endless Australian summers. Icebergs is at once a meeting place, a resting place, a workout place and a place of romance and ritual. We come to understand that for those who seek it out, and return, it is a symbol of inclusivity, healing and resilience. THE POOL is a stunning cinematic experience with a soundtrack that harks back to the 1960s and a cast of characters who each have a story to tell; breezy, heart-warming, funny and poignant. It speaks to the enduring power of community and our collective longing to find it, whoever we are and wherever we come from. No matter your background or where you’re at — everyone is equal in their swimsuits.
Your tickets include the film, a limited edition Speedo swimming cap, a choc top, and popcorn. After the screening, enjoy an engaging Q&A session with director Ian Darling, hosted by artist and film enthusiast Ben Quilty.
