Q&A Screening: The Dry
w/Stefan Duscio ACS

After such a long break from screenings due to Covid, ACS Victoria is very pleased to announce we will be presenting the feature film The Dry, followed by a Q&A with the cinematographer, Stefan Duscio ACS. Stefan will be joined by some other collaborators from the film, yet to be confirmed. Please come along and join us at Backlot Studios on Tuesday March 1st.
 
The Dry is an Australian mystery drama thriller released in 2021. The film was directed by Robert Connolly and written by Connolly and Harry Cripps. It stars Eric Bana, Genevieve O’Reilly, Keir O’Donnell and John Polson. The cinematography is by ASC Victorian member Stefan Duscio ACS. Production Designer was Ruby Mathers. Edited by Nick Meyers and Alexandre de Franceschi. Music by Peter Raeburn.
The film was very successful at the AACTA Awards, including Stefan picking up Best Cinematography in Film to add to his Gold Award for Cinematography at the Victorian ACS Awards in 2021. 
 
Synopsis: Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns to his hometown of Kiewarra in Victoria to attend the funeral of his childhood friend Luke Hadler, who has allegedly killed his wife Karen and their son Billy before taking his own life. Only their baby child was spared. Luke's parents ask Falk to stay and investigate the crime, and he reluctantly agrees. 
In flashbacks, it is revealed that Falk left town twenty years earlier to escape harassment when he was suspected in the death of his girlfriend Ellie. Upon his return, he finds many of the townspeople are still angry towards him, particularly Ellie's father Mal and her brother Grant who brand him a liar and a murderer.
