Don’t forget – our special PAPER PLANES screening is on this Thursday. See the feel-good Australian film phenomenon, and then meet one of the inspirations behind the film at our post-screening Q&A!
James Norton, Canberra-based paper planes enthusiast, will be in attendance to talk about the film and his incredible journey. So get set for an evening of fun anecdotes, inspirational tales, and perhaps even a bit of paper plane flying.
Due to a last minute engagement interstate, Dylan Parker will regrettably no longer be able to attend the event.
