‘If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle’ Special Screening

Join us for the screening of the acclaimed 2010 Romanian feature that won Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, starring Last Waltz’s Clara Voda!

Join Last Waltz Productions for a special screening of the Silver Bear Award-winning If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle.

Silviu has only 5 days left before his release from the juvenile detention centre. But his imminent freedom is threatened when his estranged mother returns to take custody of his younger brother, whom Silviu raised. Driven by desperation and love for a social worker, he escapes and kidnaps her in a reckless attempt to protect his family.

If I Want to Whistle I Whistle is a visceral exploration of abandonment and fierce loyalty. Starring Last Waltz Productions’ artistic director Clara Voda, and featuring a searing breakout performance by George Piștereanu, it’s a gritty, unmissable journey into the heart of a young man with nothing left to lose.

All proceeds from the screening will go toward Last Waltz Production’s upcoming stage production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. This event is a unique opportunity for Australian audiences to discover the power of Romanian New Wave cinema while supporting the arts.

Don’t miss this evening of world-class film and community support!
