Floodland director Jordan Giusti & producer Rachel Forbes on capturing the fate of Lismore on screen
Episode 10
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026

Filmmaker Jordan Giusti's Floodland is an impactful documentary that takes audiences to the flood-prone landscape of Lismore, NSW. Thousands of people call the region home, and yet, due to the climate crisis and government inaction, they find themselves in horrifying situations where their homes are swept away, they lose friends and family, and pets and livestock end up as collateral damage for an ongoing emergency that has no solution in sight. Resilience is a word that's used for those who call Lismore home, the flood capital of Australia, but Jordan's documentary shows that there is a way to solve this crisis.Shot with an immediacy and the level of compassion and understanding that elevates the crisis at hand, Floodland is a powerful document for the region, the people who call it home, and their future.The following interview sees Nadine Whitney, someone who lived in the region, interview Jordan and producer Rachel Forbes about making the film. This interview was recorded ahead of the films screenings at the Sydney Film Festival, and is being published now ahead of Floodland's release around Australia this week.For screening dates and information, visit Floodland.com.au.Sign up for the latest interviews, reviews, and more via https://www.thecurb.com.au/subscribe/ Hosted on Acast.
