Unseen Cinema - UNDER STREETLIGHTS (M) AU 90min
Sunday 8 December 2024
This heartfelt film's authentic storytelling revolves around identity and connection between two souls made through music.
This independent film celebrates the creative scene of Alice Springs, drawing on local talent both in front of and behind the camera. It captures the beauty of the outback and talks about challenges of being a starting artist.
Music has long been identified as a healing tonic, an aural potion able to salve psychological wounds and heal societal rifts with its power to unite people with little else in common.
This has been beautifully elucidated in films as richly varied as Once, Hearts Beat Loud, Eight Mile, The Commitments and many, many more.
Australia now has its own heartwarming entry into the subgenre with Under Streetlights, staggeringly effective charm offensive. It’s sweet but never sentimental, and optimistic without being saccharine…and that’s no mean feat.
Under Streetlights hits all the right notes.

OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2024 BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL (In Competition)
OPENING NIGHT GALA - 2024 GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL
Featuring a captivating central performance from Babylon Berlin star Liv Lisa Fries, the hugely affecting new historical drama from multi award-winning director Andreas Dresen depicts the remarkable true story of a young German woman drawn into the anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II.
Anchored by the extraordinary Fries, who perfectly embodies a type of everyday heroine driven only by decency and what’s in her heart, Dresen’s compelling and humanistic film echoes the themes and impact of The Lives Of Others, as a war drama that – without depicting a single bullet being fired - speaks more eloquently about courage than many battle-heavy spectacles.
FROM HILDE, WITH LOVE is a deeply moving and inspiring achievement.
Excellent. Works beautifully. Liv Lisa Fries delivers a performance of joy and resilience.
Go see it.
