The Man Who Saw Them Arrive – A documentary film by Zev Howley.
Screening Saturday July 18th 8pm Cinema Nova
Melbourne Documenatry Film festival
A quiet Melbourne street. A single night in January 1968. And a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
The Man Who Saw Them Arrive is a compelling new Australian documentary that explores the extraordinary story of Colin Cameron, a Kew resident whose life was irrevocably changed after a mysterious encounter on Kew Boulevard. What began as a strange sighting quickly spiralled into an obsession, as Colin meticulously documented unexplained phenomena and confided in those closest to him while the experiences grew increasingly intense—and dangerous.
Told through the eyes of his cousin, Andrea Lee Stavrianos, the film honours a promise to finally share Colin’s story. Blending deeply personal testimony with first-hand accounts of Australia’s most famous UFO sightings—including the infamous Westall 1966 incident—the documentary also features insights from leading UFO researchers, weaving Colin’s journey into the wider fabric of Australia’s unexplained history.
Haunting, intimate, and unsettling, The Man Who Saw Them Arrive is an exploration of mystery, memory, and the unanswered questions hidden in Melbourne’s backstreets.
