- Synopsis
- Ranking in BFI’s Sight & Sound’s Top 50 Films of 2021, James Vaughan’s debut feature, Friends and Strangers explores displacement and disconnection in contemporary Australia.
  
  Part absurdist comedy, part satire of colonial accidie, the film follows directionless twenty-somethings Ray and Alice as they navigate a series of prosaic but increasingly agonising situations.
  
  Afraid to think deeply about the past and unable to look forward with confidence, the film presents a culture snared by its own affluence and moral cowardice in a meaningless and interminable present.
