THE GIANTS – Film Weekend
Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2026 at the Malachi
A new cinema event is planned for this year’s Oberon Field to Forest Festival – two very special screenings of THE GIANTS held at the iconic Malachi Gilmore Hall over the last weekend of March.
Your $10 (plus booking fee) ticket includes a serving of popcorn, flavoured by local Oberon produce.
Saturday 28 March 7pm-9pm and Sunday 29 March 2pm-4pm THE GIANTS – F2F Film Weekend
From the makers of FREEMAN (ABC, 2020), THE GIANTS explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this cinematic portrait of environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who took green politics to the centre of power. From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob’s 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania’s last wild river, to today’s battle for the Tarkine rainforest.
The extraordinary life of Bob Brown began in Oberon. His father was an Oberon policeman and Bob cherishes his roots in Central West NSW. Told in Bob’s own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia’s giant trees, brought to the screen with stunning cinematography and breathtaking forest animations.
