Win a double pass to see TÓTEM
One of the breakout films from 2023’s arthouse festival circuit, Lila Avilés’ award winning and deeply affecting drama about family and grief, TÓTEM, comes to Australian cinemas from July 25.
In a bustling Mexican household, seven-year-old Sol is swept up in a whirlwind of preparations for the birthday party for her father, Tona, led by her mother, aunts, and other relatives. As the day goes on, building to an event both anticipated and dreaded, Sol begins to understand the gravity of the celebration this year and watches as her family does the same.
A regular feature in many ‘best films of 2023’ lists, including The Hollywood Reporter, New York Magazine, Sight and Sound, Vanity Fair and Variety, Lila Avilés’ poignant and emotionally expansive TÓTEM not only cements the director at the forefront of the new generation of Mexican directors but as one of most exciting new voices in world cinema.
We have a double pass available for TÓTEM advance screenings on Sunday 21 July at Dendy Newtown (Sydney), Dendy Coorparoo (Brisbane), Dendy Canberra and Palace Nova Eastend (Adelaide). Simply email
competitions@filmink.com.au with your favourite new female filmmaker and why you love their films. Most creative entries win. Don’t forget to tell us which cinema you would like to see the film at.
