Live in Melbourne? No plans for the morning of Sunday, July 12^th? Well, fellow film fan, you’re in luck — Lucky Country, that is...

The tremendous folk at Footprint Films are offering ten celluloid tongue readers the chance to catch an advance screening of Lucky Country, the new Australian film from Kriv Stenders, director of Boxing Day.

From the film’s official synopsis:

“1902….the Australian Federation is a year old. 12 year-old Tom’s beloved father Nat has dragged him and his sister Sarah to an isolated farm at the edge of the woods. But Nat’s dream of living off the land has died and he is losing his grip on sanity. When three ex-soldiers arrive at their cabin one night Tom, like his father, believes they are providence. ‘Your mother always said never turn away strangers, they may be angels in disguise…’

But their presence becomes more menacing when one of them reveals a secret: he’s found gold. As the lure of gold infects everyone around him the cabin becomes a psychological battleground in which Tom’s loyalty is put to the ultimate test.”

To be eligible to win you have to be in Melbourne and able to make it to Palace Cinema Como (situated on the corner of Toorak Rd and Chapel St in South Yarra) for an 11am screening on the aformentioned Sunday, July 12^th.
