TIBER is an 84-minute Australian-Italian arthouse drama written and directed by Dominic Allen, currently completing post-production ahead of its international festival premiere.
Set across Rome, Cortona and Florence over the course of a single summer, the film follows Marco, an Australian art historian living in Italy, as he sets out in a borrowed vintage Fiat X1/9 toward the River Tiber with his eight-year-old daughter Lucia. Moving through landscapes charged with memory and history, their journey becomes something more than a road trip, and less simple than it first appears.
Shot entirely on location in Italy by cinematographer Joel Betts on Cook S3 lenses, co-written with award-winning author Miles Allinson, and scored by composer and performer Rose Riebl, TIBER stars Marcus J. Cotterell alongside an all-Italian cast including Emiliano Campagnola and Roberto Salemi.
Intimate, cinematic, and quietly devastating, TIBER is a film about fatherhood, memory, and the fragile act of carrying love forward.
Festival announcements coming soon.
