ABOUT THE FILM:
Set against the backdrop of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, The Dish depicts a team of Australian scientists at the Parkes Radio Telescope in rural New South Wales, helping to broadcast the first moon landing to the world.

The film celebrates collaboration and the quiet competence of people far from the centre of power, as the scientists face technical failures, political pressure and unpredictable weather.

Director Rob Sitch blends gentle comedy with historical drama, reframing a world‑changing event as a triumph of teamwork and attention to detail.
