Ian and Sam head to a national park, hoping the bush will give them space for some quiet time together. They arrive
at an isolated campsite to find a SUV
and a tent - no sign of the occupants.
As night falls and the campers fail to return, Ian and Sam grow increasingly uneasy. The discovery of a distressed child wandering in the woods unleashes a terrifying chain of events that test
the young couple to breaking point. A clever, captivating Aussie survival-thriller by Tasmanian born Damien Power, the winner of BOFA Short Film Award 2012 and starring the legendary Australian actor Aaron Pedersen of Mystery Road, Goldstone and Jack Irish fame.

ATTENTION: A MUST FOR KIDS INTERESTED IN VIDEO GAMES AND ANIMATION.... AND ISN’T THAT ALL OF THEM? TALK TO THE CAST AND CREW AND EXPERIENCE THE INTERACTIVE NEOMAD COMIC BOOK AFTER THE SCREENING.
Deep in the Pilbara desert of Western Australia, an unlikely group of 11-year olds create the world’s first Aboriginal interactive comic book, NEOMAD. In the real world, they are seen as troublemakers; problem kids with too much energy and nothing to do. But when arts company Big hART come
to town, the kids seize the opportunity to show
the world who they really are. How do we get to Space? captures the arguments, pranks, computer wizardry, and grand fantastical vision as the young artists create their own epic sci-fi adventure, taking them from their small town to the neon lights of South Korea’s Bucheon International Comics Festival.
