“Unknown Pleasures” is an attempt to throw some light on under-represented films and film-makers but, more than that, an attempt to foster a sense of community.

ANAK (2022, 92 mins, Caleb Ribates)
Q&A with Caleb Ribates
ANAK is the debut feature of a major new voice in Australian film in writer/director Caleb Ribates. The film explores the complexities of migrating to a foreign culture as it slowly shapes the lives of a family of Filipino-Australians living in Melbourne. Ribates demonstrates a beautiful cinematic craft (long takes, fixed camera), as well as a gently perceptive eye full of sharp insights into the socio-racial landscape of contemporary Australia and its effects on a struggling household.
