Q&A with Director

We are thrilled to welcome Mexican director Natalia Beristáin as a guest of this year’s festival. In her debut feature, SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE (No quiero dormir sola), Beristáin has crafted a gentle, character driven drama about two women at very different stages of life, who need one another more than they realise. A special screening in Canberra at Palace Electric will be followed by a Q&A session with the director.
