Something in the Water: New Australian Horror

A talk show from hell. Religious possession. A feral bachelor party. Join a panel of Australian filmmakers as they discuss the thrills and chills that are in high supply at this year’s festival.

Featuring directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes (100 Bloody Acres, MIFF Premiere Fund 2012), whose latest film Late Night With the Devil invites a clairvoyant, a parapsychologist and the lone survivor of a satanic cult onto a 1970s talk show; director Nick Kozakis, who explores ‘religious fixing’ and possession in Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism, shot in Daylesford and Hepburn Springs; and directors Jack Clark and Jim Weir, whose genre–defying debut feature Birdeater is a psychological thriller and domestic drama for the ages. Moderated by Sally Christie.
