In his role as SFF Director, Moodley provides opportunities for Australian filmmakers to share their passion, talent and love of film with the rest of the community and for the month of July, Moodley invites you to explore his hand-picked selection of fifteen fantastic films which explore the diversity and complexity of family relationships.

On his collection of films, Nashen said “It was difficult to come up with a selection of just 15 films, so I focused on films that I’ve programmed for festivals over the last several years. When I look through the final list, I feel that there are lots of films about families – that’s not intentional, but I do think that some of the best films are about the complex, and sometimes devastating, relationships within families.”
Dendy Direct continues to cater for film lovers by inviting popular curators to share their personally hand-picked collection of films.
