“Winner of the Documentary Australia Award at Sydney Film Festival 2026” – Set in a remote town in China, when a once-proud patriarch suffers a stroke, the burden of his care falls on his estranged wife, who has long wanted to leave their unhappy marriage, and his second daughter, a single mother struggling to make ends meet. Time and Tide is a hybrid nonfiction film about contemporary China, seen through the eyes of a multi-generational family navigating ageing, hurt and the weight of family responsibility. – “A raw and intimate fly-on-the-wall portrait of a family in flux, as they grapple with life’s big questions … Time and Tide may zoom in on the minutiae of one family, but it also speaks to broader themes of familial responsibility and the pressures of contemporary Chinese society.” – Doc Weekly
