Japanese Story screens at CQU Mackay
Published on 26 February, 2004
Central Queensland University Mackay Library Society’s first film night for 2004 will be screened at the campus Cook Theatre on March 5 from 7.30pm.
Japanese Story is the first film from filmmaking trio, director Sue Brooks, writer Alison Tilson and producer Sue Maslin since Road to Nhill back in 1997.
Toni Collette plays Sandy Edwards, a geologist who is landed with the chore of being minder to a visiting Japanese businessman, Tachibana, played by Gotaro Tsunashima. Sandy’s a no-nonsense sort of person – she lets her friends down, she’s disconnected from her mother, Lynette Curran, there’s a sort of gawky gracelessness to her and yet she’s competent.
Tickets for the film cost $5 for Library Society members and $8 for non-members. A light supper will be served following the film. Library Society membership is available for $20 a year.
