Synopsis:

On 7 February 2009, Australia suffered its worst natural disaster in recorded history. A firestorm of cyclonic fury swept across Victoria and 173 lives were lost. Nowhere was the destruction more terrible than in the tiny hamlet of Strathewen. Filmmaker Celeste Geer is a member of that community, and almost before the flames had died down, she knew she was going to document its recovery. Over the next two and a half years Celeste follows a handful of individuals as they struggle to rebuild their shattered lives and find solace in unexpected places. THEN THE WIND CHANGED is a melange of compelling home footage, delicate observation and thoughtful meditation. It is a story of heartbreak and love, redemption and resilience.

When the Black Saturday Bushfires swept through Victoria Australia, the community of Strathewen was decimated. Local resident and filmmaker Celeste Geer recorded what happened as the surviving residents attempted to rebuild their lives and their shattered community.

An intimate portrait of a community's difficult but inspiring recovery from the devastating Victorian bushfires. Strathewen resident & director Celeste Geer won a 2012 Walkley Award in the Documentary category for this film.
