BBFF is proud to present the World Premiere of "Under Streetlights," with cast and crew in attendance. Set in the cultural crossroads of Alice Springs, this unique musical journey introduces us to Ella, an American-Australian grappling with her mother's recent passing, and Izak, an aspiring indigenous hip-hop artist. Their shared passion for music becomes a bridge between their contrasting worlds, creating a harmonious blend of their distinct musical talents.
While Ella's songbird voice has remained a hidden treasure, Izak crafts songs on his iPhone, dreaming of a professional music career. Their budding relationship faces challenges, with both struggling with the shadows of alcoholic fathers and the weight of cultural expectations.
Born from a grassroots initiative to empower young talent in remote Australia, this film champions the transformative power of music and the promise of a united future.
"Under Streetlights" is a heartwarming ode to hope, connection, and the melodies that bind us. Experience a film that will uplift, inspire, and leave you humming its tunes long after the credits roll.
