SUNDAY 10/24, 2:30 PM (SESSION 8)

Directors/Producers: Harrison Thane, Matt Thane

Description:

A documentary tells the story of Braidwood during our 2019-2020 Black Summer. It highlights the importance of community and everyday people doing extraordinary things to help their community survive and recover. We place a spotlight on the unsung heroes - the RFS brigades, our community radio station, the mozzies, those feeding our firefighters, the neighbors lending a hand and we show our recovery. How our town is rebounding from its greatest existential threat, tackling mental health and working together.

Biography:

Matt Thane has been making movies all his adult life. When the 2019 Black Summer fires hit Braidwood, he filmed as he fought the fires. The events and people shown in A Community Under Fire come from Matt and his mates. He witnessed the devastating impact of the fires on people, the land and the Braidwood community. Matt’s wider life experiences have helped him to see the beauty in the people in his films. He is a farmer and restores vintage buses in his spare time.
