Departures: New Australian film to take on homophobia


Cinema is a powerful medium to highlight issues that no one wants to discuss. Movies give a voice to those that need it most. This was the motivation behind award-winning director and cinematographer Dean Francis’s (Road Train and Boys Grammar) choice of Drown as his next feature film project.

Based on the acclaimed play by writer Stephen Davis (Blurred and City Loop), Drown highlights jealousy, homophobic fears and unrequited lust at its most graphic level.
