We're delighted to welcome Director Vee Shi and Producer/Cinematographer Nicholson Ren for the next Screen Presence In Conversation, celebrating the remarkable journey of their debut feature documentary, Time and Tide.

Since its world premiere in competition at Visions du Réel, Time & Tide has received significant international recognition, winning the Documentary Australia Award at the Sydney Film Festival and now screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF).

This special conversation will explore the creative collaboration behind the film, the realities of independent documentary filmmaking, and the path from concept to the international festival circuit. It's an opportunity to hear firsthand from two filmmakers whose work is helping shape the future of Australian documentary cinema.
