Throughout the National Trust Heritage Festival, participating historic cinemas across regional NSW will be screening one of two multiaward winning films.

Live and Become is the incredibly moving story of Schlomo, a young Ethiopian boy who is adopted by an Israeli couple to escape his ravaged country. Disguised as an Ethiopian Jew, he tries to
fit into his life in the promised land, which turns out to be rife with racism. As he grows up to become an idealistic medical student, he writes letters home to his real mother, and is eventually forced to make the heart-wrenching decision about whether to admit the deception that has shadowed his
childhood.

The Cave of the Yellow Dog tells the tale of 6 year old Nansaa, mischievous daughter of nomadic sheep-herders who live on the spectacular and remote plains of Mongolia. Nansaa adopts a small dog she finds in a cave. Her father is afraid the dog will bring bad luck and attract wolves, and it will take an astonishing act before the dog can prove himself welcome in the family.

This is a joint initiative with NSW Seniors Week (11 - 18 March 2007) whereby seniors gain entry to each screening for a gold coin donation. The ‘Travelling Picture Show’ ties in with the National Trust’s
ongoing campaign to save and support our heritage cinemas.
