A small penguin lowers its head to sniff at the nose of a white dog, which is lying on the ground opposite the penguin, head resting on its paws. We see a fence and a farmhouse behind them.

Colour Box: Oddball

About Colour Box: Oddball

The charming true story of an eccentric Australia chicken farmer (Shane Jacobson) who, with the help of his granddaughter, trains his mischievous dog Oddball to protect a wild penguin sanctuary from fox attacks.

The drop-in workshop begins at 10am in the Performance Studio and the relaxed/subtitled film screening begins at 11am in the Cinema.

Tickets are also available to see the film without the workshop.
