A unique cinema event.

The Turning is an ambitious anthology film inspired by Tim Winton's acclaimed collection of interconnected stories, following the life of Vic Lang from childhood through adulthood as he struggles with memory, family, obsession, and identity. Growing up in the coastal town of Angelus, Vic becomes consumed by people, places, and events that shape his understanding of right and wrong. His unresolved relationship with his absent father continues to haunt him throughout adulthood, influencing his marriage, career, and search for personal meaning.

Structured as a unique cinematic event, the film assembles an extraordinary ensemble of acclaimed Australian filmmakers and performers, with each chapter exploring different moments in Vic's life while weaving together a larger portrait of family, regret, forgiveness, and the lingering influence of the past. The production features performances by Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Rose Byrne, Miranda Otto, Richard Roxburgh, and many other celebrated actors and directors.

Directed by an exceptional team including Marieka Walsh, Warwick Thornton, Jub Clerc, Robert Connolly, Anthony Lucas, Rhys Graham, Ashlee Page, Tony Ayres, Claire McCarthy, Stephen Page, Shaun Gladwell, Mia Wasikowska, Simon Stone, David Wenham, Jonathan Auf Der Heide, Justin Kurzel, Yaron Lifschitz, and Ian Meadows, the anthology captures the emotional depth and interconnected storytelling of Tim Winton's original work.
