A SUNBURNT CHRISTMAS d. Christiaan Van Vuuren, 2020

Welcome to an Aussie Christmas
Join the London Australian Film Society for a (metaphorical) white wine in the sun this Christmas.

We will have two screenings of this new Christmas film which debuted on the Australian streaming service Stan in 2021.

Aussie snacks will be on sale & there will be sparkling shiraz to be won in our raffle.

In the Australian outback, Christmas is stinking


stinking hot mostly - but for one struggling farming family, it just plain stinks. Dad is gone, mum is losing the plot, and the bank is trying to take the farm.
 
It's looking unlikely that there'll be anything under the tree this year, until a strange looking Santa Claus turns up with a panel van full of toys. But this Father Christmas is not what he seems.... He's running from something and the kids suspect it isn't an angry elf or a hungry reindeer.
 
Daniel Henshall (Snowtown, The Royal Hotel) stars as Daryl, a Santa-clad criminal on the run, in this directorial debut feature by actor and comedian Christiaan Van Vuuren (Bondi Hipsters, Queen of Oz). Produced exclusively for the Australian streaming platform, Stan, join us for the UK premiere of this hilarious and very irreverent holiday flick.
 
With thanks to Stan and All3Media.
