Community Feedback Screening

Beyond Refuge: Flashback is the film-making debut for Cabramatta local Sean Ly, in which he goes on a journey of personal discovery to learn and record the previously unshared story of his parents – refugees from Cambodia who settled in Western Sydney in the 1980s.
Through interviews as a mother and father speaking to their son, they recall past experiences and share flashbacks of displacement and resettlement. The 25-minute film includes a soundtrack with original music contributed by Channthy Kak, lead singer from the international music sensation '<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://cambodianspaceproject.org/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Cambodian Space Project'</A>. 
Sean’s motivation is based on a shared philosophy with CuriousWorks to enable former refugees to retell the Australian refugee story from their own perspective. 
This is a first-cut screening, which Sean wishes to share with the community and gather their feedback and response to the content and his approach. He will be present to discuss and answer audience questions after the film.
Sean is part of the CuriousWorks development program for aspiring artists and community cultural leaders known as the Curious Creators. 
The event is free but places are limited so please reserve your seats using the ticket link. Light refreshments will be provided.
