General Admission
Sarah and Fergus, a hopeful young Aboriginal couple, give birth to their second baby. But what should be a joyous time of their lives becomes sinister when Sarah starts seeing a malevolent spirit she is convinced is trying to take her baby. Fergus, who can’t see it but desperately wants to believe her, grows increasingly worried as she becomes more unbalanced. Is the child-stealing spirit real or is she in fact the biggest threat to the safety of their family?
Adapting his own outstanding short film, multi-award winning screenwriter-director Jon Bell brings this compelling and utterly unique film to Australian screens. The Moogai has a clear-sighted view of how the trauma of the Stolen Generations blends with motherhood-anxiety. Genre films have long dealt with ideas of grief and loss; with The Moogai, Australia now has one of the finest examples, all of our own.
Starring Shari Sebbens, Meyne Wyatt, Tessa Rose, Jahdeana Mary, Clarence Ryan, with Toby Leonard Moore and Bella Heathcote.
