Tarnation was edited with iMovie on a kitchen table for around $218. It was quickly picked up by a sales agent and touted everywhere by America’s leading film critic Roger Ebert. Selected for Director’s Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival came next, and the success story continues with releases in cinemas around the world to great acclaim. Our closing night film is testament to how truly great talent can rise from humble beginnings, to being one of the most talked about documentary features of the year.

This is a unique opportunity for a selected audience to see Tarnation and hear from its first-time filmmaker about the extraordinary journey from concept to Sundance and onwards to Cannes Directors Fortnight. This masterclass with Jonathan Caouette has a limited number of places so don’t miss out. Sign up now.
