DIFF - A House Made Of Splinters
NT PREMIERE
Deckchair Cinema 7pm
The winner of the Sundance World Documentary Directing Award delves into the lives of children near the frontline in Ukraine.
In this war-worn and impoverished corner of Eastern Ukraine where addiction casts a long shadow, there sits a safe haven for children temporarily removed from their parents. A House Made of Splinters follows three kids awaiting their fate – will they go back or move on to a new home? – while a group of dedicated social workers create small moments of joy and respite from childhoods all but lost.
Filmmaker Simon Lereng Wilmont returns with a follow-up to his acclaimed first feature, The Distant Barking of Dogs, offering a unique look into how the long-term consequences of war on a society already under strain impacts the most vulnerable.
