Discussing movies with small town themes with Davis Rivera and with thanks to our contributors from around the world: Astrid (Poland), Lachlan (Australia), Betsy (United States), Natalie (England), Chanan (Israel), Rachael (Australia), Anne-Marie (Australia).

We are reconvening the Wide Open Air Exchange film club in time for the holidays to discuss movies set in small towns. There are four to watch ahead of a discussion with our favourite film enthusiast Davis Rivera.

Tim Hansen's creative pursuits are informed by his university studies of theatre media, music composition and music theory (across three degrees) as well as his lifelong love of music and performing.

You'll hear about Tim's approach to composing, performing and teaching young people music and his recent exploration of satire and musical theatre as a form of political activism.

While sharing strong views about shortfalls of investment in the arts, Tim is optimistic that Covid lockdowns have reminded people of the value of shared cultural experiences.
