East Timor’s first feature film

Oct 09, 2013, updated May 12, 2025

Beatriz’s War is a love story inspired by a true 16th century French story about Bertrande de Rols and her husband Martin Guerre. In this adaptation the story has been transposed to East Timor on the eve of the Indonesian invasion of the Portuguese colony.

You can not only see the film, you can also ‘Meet the Maker’ and discover the story behind Beatriz’s War in a special discussion session on this film at the Adelaide Festival of Ideas.

Jointly presented by the Hawke Centre, the Adelaide Festival of Ideas, and the Adelaide Film Festival.
