Father Mother Sister Brother

Directed by Jim Jarmusch
2025
112 mins
Unclassified 15+
Legendary renegade Jim Jarmusch (Coffee & Cigarette SFF 2003) returns with a gently wry triptych mapping the uneasy closeness of adult children and their parents. Winner Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival 2025.

Father Mother Sister Brother unfolds in three quietly comic tales. In one, siblings (Mayim Bialik, Adam Driver) make a dutiful trek to a father (Tom Waits) whose destitution may be an act; in another, Charlotte Rampling presides over ritual tea with daughters Vicky Krieps and Cate Blanchett; in the third, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat sift through the residue of their parents lives. Jarmusch’s calm, humane gaze turns guilt, distance and acceptance into soft weather, a meditation on the mystery of who our parents were.

The Fit-It Man and the Fix-It Wooman

In the “bright lights” of Alice Springs, two people – fantastic handwoven figures in 3D animation – dance to impress until a mishap sparks an unexpected bond. Brought to life by the celebrated Yarrenyty Arltere Artists, this tender, funny tale celebrates love, creativity, and the art of repair.
