Subscriber only The Bangalow Film Festival is calling all dog owners to bring their beloved pooch along to a special movie screening next month. On Sunday January 17 at 8pm at the Bangalow Showground, moviegoers and their dogs are invited to watch a special viewing of The Truffle Hunters. The film follows a handful of men, 70 to 80 years young, in Piedmont, Italy, on the search for the elusive Alba truffle. They re guided by a secret culture passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs. According to the festival organisers, this documentary subtly explores the devastating effects of climate change and deforestation on an age-old tradition through a visually stunning narrative that celebrates life and exalts the human spirit.
