The Taste of Mango – Australian Premier Sunday 26 November, 2:00pm

Winner of the Audience Award at BFI London Film Festival, Chloe Abrahams’ The Taste of Mango is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgently personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence, and love. At its centre are three extraordinary Sri Lankan women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. 

The Taste of Mango, Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature, is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgently personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence, and love. At its centre are three extraordinary Sri Lankan women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. Their stories, by turns difficult and jubilant, testify to the entangled and ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love. Drawing on her experience as a portrait painter and video artist, Chloe employs a singular and assured cinematic language.
