Kingdom of the Quokka – Birthday Edition

The recent screenings of Rottnest Island Kingdom of the Quokka at the Backlot Perth in August were a huge success. The last two screenings were sold out and people were asking for more tickets! To celebrate the Quokka's birthday, the Backlot Perth is holding one more special screening for those people who can’t make it to Rottnest island to join in the celebrations. Hip, hip, hooorayyyyyy! For they are jolly good Quokkas and so say all of us!

On the far west of the Australian continent, with the limitless Indian Ocean beyond, there is a set of islands whose animals defy all laws of nature. The three islands lie side by side, but each is ruled by a different animal.

For the first time in the world we film the entire life cycle of the mysterious Quokka, the Little Penguin and the Tiger Snake, using the latest filming equipment and techniques. Rottnest Island Kingdom of the Quokka reveals their incredible secrets with an exclusive and intimate look at the inhabitants and those intertwined in their lives on the islands and in the fringing ocean.

Narrated by Logie award winning actor, William McInnes and produced by Four-time Emmy® Award nominee Leighton De Barros and Jodie De Barros, and written and directed by Leighton De Barros and Jonathon Rowdon from WA’s Sea Dog TV International, Rottnest Island Kingdom of the Quokka will instil wonderment, admiration and respect for our natural environment for audiences both in Australia and across the globe.

Doors open 6:30pm, film at 7pm.
