Film Club

Join us in August for a screening of Some Happy Day, filmed in St Kilda, as part of Homelessness Week 2025.

Session Time:

Monday 4 August | 12 pm to 2 pm | St Kilda Library

Some Happy Day - MA 15+

Some Happy Day follows Tina, a homeless woman in desperate search of a better life, who meets Frances, a social worker with troubles of her own. Over a single day their lives interweave, revealing unsettling connections that lead to change and redemption.

Some Happy Day is an independent feature film set in St Kilda, but was also created with the local community, many of whom are directly affected by the themes of the film. This poignant and moving film brings awareness to the global social issue of homelessness.

The film was made locally in St Kilda, with many of the locations like this scene being filmed in an actual crisis centre.

Homelessness Week 2025

Some Happy Day was filmed in partnership with a range of local St Kilda groups and organisations including the Sacred Heart Mission and Salvation Army Statewide Crisis Centre.

Many of the actors have lived experiences of surviving without a home and other cast and crew work in social services.

Our libraries are proud to show this film as part of Homelessness week 2025.
