Mates
When Blake “Prick” Daniels turns up at the door of an Enmore terrace with a food delivery, he comes face-to-face with his former mate Roy. What follows is a long night of banter and old wounds resurfacing, as the pair navigate resentment, abandonment, and the uneasy question of what it really means to be mates.
The Body
Jane is cast as a dead body on a crime TV show. As she goes through the motions on set, the role begins to seep into her private life.
Fear of Songs
In 2002, a young Palestinian asylum seeker is released from Australian detention — but the footage capturing this pivotal moment vanishes, never archived. Fear of Songs is an experimental short film that attempts to reconstruct what was lost, blurring memory, media, and imagination. Through absence, it questions who gets to be seen, and what is remembered.
Faceless
An Indigenous man navigates three parallel realities; at once a rough-sleeper, an aspiring actor and the employee of a mining corporation. Can he find a place within Australian society or is he bound to remain an outsider in his own land?
