UNDER STREETLIGHTS (M)

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.
