YEAH THE BOYS (2024)

Regie: Stephan Hunt

Țară: Australia

Durată: 8m 10s

“Yeah the Boys” follows six young Aussie men as they sink beers over an afternoon and well into the night. Emoting only through movement; lewd gestures, chokeholds, crowd surfs, and chugging shoeys, they somehow say everything without uttering a single word. Equal parts larrikin, brutal, and tender, this choreographic short film scored by The Avalanches is an observation of Australian masculine identity and our nation’s relationship with drinking culture.

Set on the banks of a water, where several characters lounge with their bellies in the sun - sometimes chatting about everything and nothing, sometimes falling into meaningful silence - “Round Trip” is the diploma film of one the legendary filmmakers of Romanian cinema.
