After losing his job in Rome, Australian-Italian art historian Marco returns to Tuscany, where he sets out in a vintage Fiat X1/9 with his young daughter Lucia on a journey toward the Tiber River. As they move through landscapes steeped in art, history and memory, the trip gradually becomes something deeper: a quiet reckoning with love, time and the emotional truths Marco has kept at bay. Directed by Australian filmmaker Dominic Allen, TIBER marks his debut narrative feature following an acclaimed body of work across documentary and immersive storytelling. Allen's short film Two Men won the MIFF Emerging Australian Filmmaker Award, while his immersive work Carriberrie has screened internationally. He also produced Grey Matter, which received a Special Jury Mention at the Tribeca Film Festival. Co-written with award-winning novelist Miles Allinson, TIBER is an intimate, meditative drama attentive to ritual, tenderness and the lingering presence of the past. Australian-Italian actor Marcus J. Cotterell leads the film as Marco. Trained at Rome's Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica Silvio d'Amico, Cotterell has worked across European cinema and television, with screen credits including Giuseppe Tornatore's The Best Offer and Abel Ferrara's Go Go Tales. In TIBER, he gives a finely calibrated performance of great restraint and emotional depth. Shot in Rome, Cortona and Florence by DOP Joel Betts and scored by Rose Riebl, TIBER is a contemplative road film about memory, family and the difficulty of living in the present when the past remains so vividly alive.
