About this Event
From raw tales of addiction and inherited trauma to gentle sci-fi wonder, buried childhood fears and hard truths from WA’s past, these films take the time to go deeper. Richly layered and emotionally driven, this showcase highlights bold storytelling, complex characters and the creative confidence of Western Australian filmmakers pushing beyond traditional short-form cinema.
- Milktooth
Jane Dearie is experiencing the most tragic days of her life. She longs for peace and space to grieve, but finds neither of these in the company of Milktooth, the mischievous child who appeared when it all began.
- Inheritance
Fresh out of Pr*son and barely holding it together, John Barker returns home to his dying grandfather—only to inherit an old boat, the family dog, a convict legacy, and one final chance to break the cycle... if he has the courage to try.
- Reach for the Stars
After her mother’s passing, young Madeline is struggling with coming to terms with her grief. One night, when a small spacecraft crashes in her backyard, she meets B3R1, a stranded visitor from the stars.
- Voiceless
Set in 1971, Voiceless follows three teenage boys who are trapped at a remote farm school in rural WA. Separated from their families and subjected to a strict lifestyle governed by authoritarian staf, the boys have no one to turn to but each other.
- The Underneath
When Ally returns to her parents’ place after a break-up, she meets the Monster under her bed from childhood. Over one anxiety-ridden night she returns to her childhood to defend her 6-year-old self from him, and any sense of self she has left.
