OPENING NIGHT FILM, AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

(Dir: Michael Lukk Litwak; USA, 92mins)

Can true love save two people whose orbits repeatedly collide over the course of 12 years, 4 planets, 3 dimensions and one space-cult. A grounded romantic comedy set in an absurd world, Molli and Max in the Future takes the character-driven romance of When Harry Met Sally and combines it with an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Sci-Fi universe of something like Futurama. Through old-school practical visual effects (hand-built models, miniatures, puppets and rear-projection) and cutting edge technology (Unreal Engine and LED Volumes) the filmmakers have created a universe like no other.

Stars Zosia Mamet (Girls; The Flight Attendant), and Aristotle Athari (Silicone Valley; Saturday Night Live).  

  • Australian Premiere

  • Official Selection, 2023 SXSW

Flite

(Director: Tim Webber; UK, 14mins)

The directorial debut of Oscar winning VFX Supervisor Tim Webber (Gravity; The Dark Knight; Children of Men), this futuristic short film explores the nascent and underground practice of ‘memory visualisation’, blending performances from Alba Baptista and Gethin Anthony with CGI created in Unreal Engine to form CG humans that give genuine, emotional performances.
