Australian auteur Warwick Thornton attended a post-screening event at the Shanghai International Film Festival following the Chinese premiere of “Wolfram,” his latest feature, which was in the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year.

Set in a 1930s Australian mining town, the film follows two Aboriginal siblings, Max and Kid, who are forced into child labor. When fugitives abduct Max, Kid sets off alone to find her brother, while their mother Pansy – newborn in tow – crosses the desert with her partner and a Chinese miner named Zhang in a bid to reunite her family.
