You're invited to join us at UNSW Bookshop for our first ever cinema experience featuring The Last Goldfish directed by Su Goldfish.
Manfred Goldfish tried to suppress the trauma that made him a refugee in 1939. When his filmmaker daughter unearths her father's extraordinary story, she also discovers where she belongs.
Su Goldfish was raised in Trinidad and moved to Australia when she was thirteen, following an attempted military coup. As a child, Su didn't realise she was white. As an adult, she finds a new family in Sydney's queer community, learns she is Jewish and that she has half-siblings on the other side of the world.
Told through a personal archive stretching across a century, this search for one lost family reveals the repercussions of forced migration across generations.
Guests can purchase and enjoy a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from adjoining Atomic Press Cafe and then recline and relax with some complimentary savory treats while watching this multi award winning documentary.
After the movie Bec Harcourt (UNSW) will be interviewing Su Goldfish about the documentary and audience members will have the opportunity to directly ask Su questions about her experiences and the film making process.
Su Goldfish is producer and manager of UNSW Creative Practice Lab in the School of the Arts and Media. Su produces performance and media works, mentors students, and collaborates with academic staff and artists. Su studied documentary at AFTRS (2010).
