'SPIT'

EVERYONE DESERVES A SEVENTH CHANCE.

On to the comps - and wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'Spit'. After 20 years on the run overseas, small-time ex-criminal Johnny Spitieri (Spit) slips back into Australia on a false passport only to find himself locked up in an Immigration Detention Centre with a massive target on his back as old enemies come looking for him, determined to settle old scores. As he struggles to stay one step ahead, the resourceful Spit finds new friends in detention, teaching them his version of mateship, and what it means to be truly Australian. Click here now to win one of five double passes to see 'Spit' in cinemas, but hurry - entries close tonight.

'HARD TRUTHS'

AN EXPLORATION OF FAMILY DYNAMICS.

Also finishing up today is our giveaway for 'Hard Truths'. Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns with a darkly humorous and poignant exploration of family dynamics. Marianne Jean-Baptiste reunites with Leigh as Pansy, a woman consumed by fear and anger, while her easy-going sister leads a very different life as a single mother. Through their contrasting personalities, the film delves into the complexities of family bonds, love, and the enduring ties that bind us despite years of conflict and hardship. To win one of five double passes to see 'Hard Truths' in cinemas, click here now - but be quick, as entries close this evening.

'EVERY LITTLE THING'

FROM THE SMALLEST ACTS EMERGE GRACE.

Also wrapping up today is our giveaway for 'Every Little Thing'. A film of joy and wonder, 'Every Little Thing' offers profound truths in a deceptively simple story. What does it mean to care for another, and what impact does this act have on us? Intending to these fragile yet resilient hummingbirds, Terry Masear finds a sense of healing from her own past. Her diminutive patients — brought into sharp focus through breathtaking, beautifully detailed photography — become memorable protagonists in their own right. The viewer becomes emotionally invested in Cactus, Jimmy, Wasabi, Alexa, and Mikhail, celebrating their small victories and lamenting their tiny tragedies. The compassion and empathy that Masear shows her Lilliputian charges serves as a lesson to us all — a reminder that in the smallest of acts, and in the tiniest of creatures, we might find grace. Click here now to win one of five double passes to see 'Every Little Thing' in cinemas, but don't delay - entries close today.

'THE COLOURS WITHIN'

EMBARK ON A LIFE-CHANGING JOURNEY.

Kicking off today is our giveaway for 'The Colours Within'. Some bands change music. This one changes everything. Totsuko can see emotions as colours, and Kimi has the most beautiful one of all. Together, with quiet music lover Rui, they form a band that will take them on a life-changing journey. To win one of five double passes to see 'The Colours Within' in cinemas, click here now.
