Walk the red carpet at the Queensland premiere of SPIT, the hilarious Australian comedy with a big heart starring David Wenham. After the screening, join David and the filmmakers, to discuss the creative journey behind bringing this film to life. Learn about the film’s Queensland roots, the challenges of blending genres, and what it takes to craft such a unique and engaging story. Whether you’re a fan of quirky comedyor simply curious about the filmmaking process, this event offers an intimate look into the world of SPIT.


After 20 years on the run overseas, small-time ex-criminal Johnny Spitieri (Spit) slips back into Australia on a false passport only to find himself locked up in an Immigration Detention Centre with a massive target on his back as old enemies come looking for him, determined to settle old scores. As he struggles to stay one step ahead, the resourceful Spit finds new friends in detention, teaching them his version of mateship, and what it means to be truly Australian.
