Greenfield

James enters the small town of Greenfield to win his former girlfriend Kelly back, but tensions soon explode when her brother confides him with a volatile secret leading to a dark spiral of events.

From the Judges
Camera movement that pulls the audience right into the frame gives this gritty Australian arthouse portrait a real, raw honesty, its windswept West Australian coast beautifully shot throughout. The direction guides moving lead performances with evident care, and the panel found so much to like in its unflinching, atmospheric look at love, belonging and small-town life.
