Love in Our Own Time, a documentary on the big things in life - birth, love, and death - illustrates the immensity of what it is to exist: to live, to love, and to die.

Holding a 21st century mirror to who we are, the film follows ordinary Australians, bearing witness to lives beginning and ending, and capturing the moments, both simple and sublime, that compose our lives. This is a journey to the heart of what it is to be human, giving us pause to reflect on the lives we lead.

Light snack will be provided. We also invite you to stay for a brief discussion after the film!
