Lonely and destitute, Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves
the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming
the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son Sam. When Ali lands
a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look
up for the itinerant father and son. Then one night, after breaking up a
fight in the club, Ali
meets the radiant Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), and slips her his number
after dropping her off safely at home. Though Stephanie's position on
the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prospect
for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and
finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali. Her spirit broken by the
same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually finds the courage
to go on living trough transcendent moments spent with Ali -- a man with
precious little pity, but an enormous love of life. ~ Jason Buchanan,

This is the latest in George Gittoes' award-winning documentaries about war and the human stories of hope and redemption ( Soundtrack to War , 2005 and Love City , Jalalabad , 2013). Ukrainistan Artist War continues this vital focus, showing the wars raged by artists against invasion. It is an urgent and essential film that delivers an outcry of optimism that humanity can end violent conflict and embrace peace through creativity. Ukrainistan Artist War is an anti-war film in the tradition of Picasso’s Guernica. Gittoes and partner, producer/musician Hellen Rose, go beyond the headlines and behind battle lines of Ukraine and Afghanistan to candidly capture the tragedy of those now displaced and separated by the Russian-Ukrainian war. This screening will be a very special event as the documentary makers (local residents of Gerringong area) will be with us to talk about their work, their art and to answer questions.
