Phillip Donnellon

When Kath and her brother Mitja head off in a campervan for a summer vacation with their mother, they are actually looking to escape the dark shadow that a recent tragic accident has cast over them. But adventure awaits the siblings in Land’s End, where they meet an eccentric girl who lives in an abandoned hotel and a wild gang of children on the beach who are involved in some kind of territorial battle. Only by joining forces can Kath and Mitja help end this war and unravel the secret that lies behind why these children appear somehow stranded between two worlds.

A bored woman who works in an Australian coat hanger factory, has an encounter with a white bird that changes her life forever.

Bring'Em Back is a political and emotional plea for the return of Melbourne's beloved 'connies' -- or conductors, for those of you of a younger vintage. Director Phillip Donnellon's documentary, full of humour and passion, harks back to a time before the government sell off of public assets, to a debate that brought this city to a standstill and caused deep divisions within the Victorian Labor party. With an election due in November could it be more timely?
