Film Night (Four Short Films)

By Jack Swanson
13th July 2025 at 7.30pm

First ever screening of Hang On and three other new short films.

All Barn Members are invited to the first ever screening of Hang On, a short film that was made with the help of many Barn people just before Christmas. It was written by Jack Swanson who now lives in Vietnam. Jack was last seen on the Barn stage in Our Country’s Good in the 2013-14 season (just before he emigrated!).

The story centres around a failing actor in his fifties who’s having to make the choice of either pursuing his stalled career or risking losing the two relationships that matter the most to him, those with his daughter and his one-year old grandson. We’ll be entering it for various film festivals and would really like to share it with a home crowd first.

We are also showing three other films:

Rhizome –  Tom Fletcher
Opa has forgotten Mum’s name. Dinner is Served. An experimental family drama exploring the relationship between a daughter and her ailing father.

Salinger – Phil Moran/Paul Albertson
A dedicated yet trouble detective navigates a complicated personal life while investigating a series of murders.

The Zoo – Eli Thompson/Kirsten Jane Reed/Freddie Fredholm/Sophie Dique/Charlie Brodie
An animated film first shown during the production of The Crocodile about the disastrous consequences of the free market economy on a Moscow Zoo.

DON'T FORGET, COMING UP AT THE BARN SOON​
