We are thrilled to present the Australian Premiere of The Ballad of Wallis Island, a fresh, big hearted comedy.
The Ballad of Wallis Island follows Charles (Key), a eccentric lottery winner who lives alone on a secluded island, tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favourite musicians, McGwyer Mortimer (Basden and Mulligan), to perform at a special, private event.
Directed by James Griffiths and stars Carey Mulligan, Tim Key, Tom Basden, Sian Clifford and Akemnji Ndifornyen.
The Gold Coast Film Festival 2025 Opening Night event is possible thanks to the support of our Major Partners Screen Queensland, Australia’s Gold Coast, Tourism and Events Queensland along with Experience Gold Coast and venue partner HOTA (Home of the Arts).
