Beau Miles is taking his Secret Screenings on the road - bringing a collection of new, unreleased films to Hamer Hall.

None of the films are on YouTube yet. You’ll see them first. The idea is simple: three or four of Beau’s films, shown somewhere between a first and final draft. You won’t know what you’re watching until it starts - and each one has a story to tell beyond what’s on screen.

In between films, Beau tells stories about why the films are the way they are. Why he loves finding things. Why he needs to shower more. Why a man living on a small farmlet in regional Victoria keeps dragging himself into rivers and eating spotty bananas and filming it all. The stories may or may not have anything to do with the films being shown. That’s part of the deal.

The evening finishes with a Q&A - voted the best thing ever witnessed by one audience member. That audience member was Beau. He stands by it.

About Beau Miles

Beau Miles has a beard because when he shaves he feels as if the wind has blown for the very first time. He’s a filmmaker and adventurer based on a small farmlet in Victoria, and his films document the strange possibilities that emerge when ordinary places and ideas are taken seriously - runs that last too long, rivers that fight back and days spent doing one thing, repeatedly, to see what happens.

Beau is having a midlife bonanza, reinventing his life one day at a time. His second book, Bad River, has been almost finished for several years. He’s a dad, a husband and genuinely terrible at picking the best line at the airport.
