Top End Wedding - Dementia Friendly Screening

Join us for this NAIDOC Week Screening of TOP END WEDDING! 

This warm and light-hearted comedy celebrates the joyful chaos of family and the strength of community. It follows Lauren, a successful Sydney lawyer, and her fiancé Ned as they prepare for their wedding.

Just one day before the big event, they’re stunned to discover that Lauren’s mother has run away. Determined to reunite her parents and still pull off the wedding of their dreams, the couple sets off on a spirited journey across the Top End of the Northern Territory in search of her.

Written by Larrakia and Tiwi actress Miranda Tapsell, TOP END WEDDING was warmly received by both audiences and critics. The film earned nominations at the AACTA Awards for Best Film, Best Actress (Tapsell), and Best Supporting Actress (Ursula Yovich). Its beloved characters return in 2025 in a brand new eight-part television series, Top End Bub.
