Carers in the Port Macquarie Hastings area are invited to join us for Celebrating Carers: A Community Film Event. A warm, engaging Carers Week program at Port Macquarie Library, featuring two uplifting short films from Bus Stop Films’ award‑winning inclusive filmmaking catalogue. Each film highlights themes of care, connection, disability representation and community, followed by guided discussions to deepen reflection and conversation.

Film screenings:

‘Groundhog Night’ (16 minutes) – For carer Gary, moving on keeping his family together isn’t always easy. Tensions run high when his late wife’s parents arrive unannounced after he brings home a date.

‘Stairs’ (12 minutes) – A young man’s dream to make a living in Ulaanbaatar is put to the test when he must navigate the social and physical obstacles in his path.

Please register for each attendee as spaces are limited. 

Photography and filming will take place at this event. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please speak with a staff member when you arrive.
