Synopsis:

The Quiet Room (1996)
In a blue-walled bedroom, a seven-year-old girl watches her goldfish, plays with her dolls, draws pictures with her crayons. Her mother brushes her hair, buttons her school uniform, zips up her skirt. Her father leaves for work, kissing her mother goodbye. These are the familiar rhythms of family life, but something is wrong; the girl feels it, sees it. She remembers how things were when she was a girl of three, and it is rarely like that anymore. But the child does not have the words to express her emotions, and suspects that words themselves may be the problem. So she stops talking. While the audience can hear what she's thinking, through her silence the child attempts to influence her parents' behavior, to force them to communicate properly with each other and with her.

Epsilon (1997)
A beautiful alien is sent from the planet Epsilon to pass judgment on the shameful way in which humans have mishandled their planet. Set in a near future in which humanity has made great strides in cleaning up the Earth, it begins as a grandmother tells her granddaughters a story from the past. Her tale begins in the desert outback during the dark times when people were actively ruining their planet. The naked alien is placed upon the desert where she eventually meets a surveyor who quickly gives her some clothing. As the two travel across the land, the alien constantly admonishes him for his race's carelessness and greed. She informs him that other intelligent life forms consider humans hopeless failures. Using her ability to travel instantly to any of Earth's locales, she takes the bewildered surveyor on a whirlwind tour to prove her point.

Bad Boy Bubby (1993)
Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world.

Dingo (1991)
Traces the pilgrimage of John Anderson, an average guy with a passion for jazz, from his home in outback Western Australia to the jazz clubs of Paris, to meet his idol, jazz trumpeter Billy Cross.

Incident at Raven's Gate (1988 )
Horror and hard-rock meet head on in Encounter at Raven's Gate. On the eve of hosting a music concert, a tiny Australian town is plagued by a series of unexplained occurrences. Most of these involve electric appliances and the failure of same. Far more disturbing is the suddenly violent behavior of many of the citizens. When the explanation comes, it's every man (and woman) for him(or her)self! The "Vincent Gill" in the supporting cast is not the famed country western star.

Tale of a Tiger (1984)
Primary school aged Orville has a fascination for model planes which intensifies when he encounters Harry who owns a sadly neglected but real Tiger Moth. Orville becomes obsessed with the notion that the Tiger might fly once more and the adventure begins when he and Harry set out to achieve that goal.

The Rolf De Heer Collection provides an ideal introduction to this remarkable and idiosyncratic Australian filmmaker, the recipient of 27 Australian and International awards. Best known for The Tracker and Ten Canoes, Umbrella has assembled De Heer's first six films: from his auspicious 1984 debut Tail of a Tiger, through to 1997's "visually stunning" (David Stratton) sci-fi fantasy Epsilon, and classics such as Dingo and Bad Boy Bubby in between. Also contains The Quiet Room and Incident At Ravensgate
