"Jimpa" is an uplifting multi-generational family story.
Filmmaker Hannah (Olivia Colman) takes her teenager Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde) to Amsterdam, to visit their grandfather – lovingly known as “Jimpa” (John Lithgow). But Frances’ desire to stay with Jimpa for a year abroad means Hannah is forced to reconsider her beliefs about parenting and finally confront old stories about the past.
Funny, accessible, full of sadness and joy, and with a wonderful multi-generational cast, Jimpa is a celebration of LGBTQ+ culture. It brings a queer family to screen, taking a nuanced look at just how much has changed in in terms of social expectation and our understanding of family over three generations.
When: Saturday 29 August, 5 pm Where: The Old Stone Hall - 7 Church St, Beechworth All are welcome!
