Face to Face
dir. by Michael Rymer
(85m, Australia, English)

There are two sides to every story but in this case there are ten when a diverse group of Australians sit down to decide the fate of a violent young man. Wayne, a young scaffold construction worker, rams into the back of his boss’ car in a fit of anger at being sacked. Rather than going straight to court, he opts for a community conference to discuss the events that led to such a violent reaction. As the story unfolds, each of the players is brought face to face with the complexity of determining ultimate guilt and responsibility. Written and directed by Michael Rymer, Face to Face, is adapted from a play by Australian playwright, David Williamson, which is in turn based on the transcripts from actual conflict resolution sessions.
