Closing Night Gala Film Presentation — Sunday, September 22 at 7PM

12-year-old Milfred's (Nell Fisher of Evil Dead Rise and Netflix's Stranger Things) life is turned upside down when her stressed out, strapped-for-cash single mom lands in hospital and her estranged father, Strawn Wise (Elijah Wood of The Lord of the Rings and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), an American illusionist now past his prime, flies to New Zealand to look after her. The bookish tween's lifelong quest has been to capture proof that the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther exists, which would also entail a cash prize that would pull her and her mother out of their financial struggles. Newly introduced father and daughter head to the wilderness on a camping trip for the ultimate test of family bonding, watched from afar by a deadly black beast that could be the solution to all their woes. Bookworm explores universal themes of fatherhood, survival and overcoming fears.

La vie de Milfred, âgée de 12 ans, est complètement chamboulée lorsque sa mère stressée et à court d'argent se retrouve dans le coma à l'hôpital et que son père, Strawn Wise, un illusionniste américain dont la carrière est en déclin, débarque de l'avion en Nouvelle-Zélande pour lui venir en aide. Milfred, très intelligente et passionnée de lecture, se lance dans la quête de sa vie: prouver l'existence d'une bête mythique appelée la panthère de Canterbury, ce qui lui vaudrait un important prix en argent. Elle et son père qu'elle n'avait jamais rencontré auparavant partent en voyage de camping, ce qui permettra de tester leurs tout nouveaux liens familiaux. Une féroce bête noire les surveille de loin. Elle pourrait être la solution à tous leurs problèmes financiers. Bookworm explore les thèmes de la paternité, de la survie et des craintes à surmonter.
