Jimpa – 1 July
Film (2025). Drama starring Aud Mason-Hyde, Olivia Colman and John Lithgow. (MA15+). From ScreenHub’s review:
‘Is conflict integral to cinema? Not according to Hannah, an Adelaide filmmaker, who is not quite Jimpa director Sophie Hyde, but is certainly a misty mirror-universe reflection.

It’s here, as a kid (played by Leo Cocovinis) that Lionel discovers his ability to keenly perceive the sound of music – not just as shimmering colour (interestingly never visualised by Hermanus) but also a taste on his tongue – is a gift most unusual.
‘Lionel’s breadth of knowledge about these ditties and his ability to hold each tune carefully leads him to Boston’s New England Conservatory on a scholarship.’ Read more …
