JIMPA - free community movie

Join us for a free community showing of the heartwarming film JIMPA.

From acclaimed director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), JIMPA is an uplifting multi-generational family story starring award-winning favourites Olivia Colman & John Lithgow.

Hannah (Colman) travels to vibrant Amsterdam with her teen, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to reconnect with her politically-engaged, gay father—affectionately known as “Jimpa” (Lithgow).

Frances is besotted with Jimpa and announces the wish to stay with him for a year – much to Hannah’s unease. Jimpa is fiercely independent, so it is a shock when his declining health is revealed, upending Frances' plans and bringing Hannah’s sister in from the UK.

As the siblings negotiate what happens next, Hannah must confront her past and the stories she has told about her family. With warmth, humour and joy, JIMPA reminds us that, in every family, there are stories that don't add up.

JIMPA is a heart-warming film which promote inter-generational relationships across LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies; promotes inter-generational learning on history, activism, and identity; empowers LGBTQIA+ families in their approaches to aging, death and dying; and celebrates and supports trans and gender diverse people and their families.

This free community event was funded by the Western Australian Association for Mental Health as part of Mental Health Week 2026. Hosted by Busselton Pride Alliance Inc. as part of Mental Health Week 2026, and the Pride Wellbeing Festival, sponsored by City of Busselton, Rio Tino and Busselton Water.
