We regret to inform you that Sasa Sestic will unfortunately no longer be able to join us at our screening of THE COFFEE MAN this Saturday due to a work committee that requires him to be in China this week.
In his place, we will be chatting to the film’s director, Jeff Hann, live via Skype from Melbourne after the film.
THE COFFEE MAN follows Serbian-born, Canberra-based barista Sasa Sestic as he travels the world – from Ethiopia to Honduras to Colombia – on a search for the perfect coffee bean, accompanied by director Jeff Hann and producer Roland Favral. Coffee and film lovers alike have been raving about THE COFFEE MAN, so be sure to come along for the rare opportunity to see this delightful film on the big screen and to chat to its director afterwards.
