The Mastermind

The Mastermind

AFF Film Club

A cocky young father (Josh O’Connor) regressing into the working class aims to turn his life around with a foolproof art heist. Finding his crime under-planned, he is forced on the run. The great Kelly Reichardt brings a breezy charm to the tale of an ordinary man without the chops to break free.

Following its World Premiere at AFF2025, We Are Not Powerless will screen at the Odeon Star Semaphore on Tuesday, 25 November at 6:30pm.
Join us for a special AFF Film Club screening of Jolyon Hoff and Muzafar Ali's latest film.

We Are Not Powerless
When a small group of refugees defy authorities and start a school, they inspire a refugee-led education revolution which changes the lives of thousands. Ten years later, we uncover the global impact of this brave act.


Donation information for the Cisarua Refugee Learning Centre (CRLC) will be made available the night of the screening. There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers and Mat Kesting, AFF CEO and Creative Director.
