PAST LIVES

Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrested apart after Nora’s family emigrates from South Korea. Two decades later, they are reunited in New York for one fateful week as they confront notions of destiny, love, and the choices that make a life, in this heartrending modern romance.

 

It is highly recommended as a touching and always subtle film about old memories, old friendships and contemporary realities. – David Stratton, The Australian

Song finds the political in the personal and avoids seeming indulgent or niche. – Charlotte O’Sullivan, London Evening Standard

Noosa Film Society

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.

The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
