An exploration of the waking and dreaming lives of a motley crew of migrants, hippies, and other ‘outsiders’ who respond to an audition call out for a film asking them for ‘dreams, lies, memories and gossip’.
They say there are only two stories worth telling: a person goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town. This film is about a stranger who comes to make a film in a small town, and the people she meets when she holds auditions. Together, they go on a cinematic journey to explore their experiences.
Featuring a cast of migrant workers, hippies, Travellers, blow-ins and newly arrived refugees, we are ushered into the private worlds of people living between two cultures, sharing their desires of longing and belonging. Town of Strangers is a ‘hybrid’ feature film using auditions, observational documentary and magical realist dream scenes.
