Celebrate Christmas in July with us at the screening of the hilarious A Savage Christmas! Ugliest Christmas jumper wins a prize! There’ll also be Christmas crackers for everyone!

SYNOPSIS

For the dysfunctional Savage family, Christmas is always held at the decadent Gold Coast family home. Empty nesters James Sr and Brenda greet their adult children: Trans-woman Davina with trans-partner Kane, mentally ill gambler Jimmy Jnr, and newly separated pill-popper mum Leia.

Crazy Uncle Dick arrives in full Santa regalia and kickstarts the opening of unwelcome gifts while Brenda struggles with the Christmas Turkey. As family secrets come to light and happy facades unravel, the day descends into chaos. A mobster arrives to take Jimmy hostage for unpaid debts, and the family are forced to come to terms with old wounds. It’s not the Christmas they want, but perhaps it's the one they need.

Why not plan a South West adventure at the same time as CinefestOZ? We recommend making accommodation, restaurant and tour bookings early to avoid disappointment. Plan your stay and 'wander out yonder' with Western Australia in Australia’s South West and Visit Bunbury Geographe.
