Red Syrup

One night, 3 am in an almost-empty parking lot, a girl named Fran witnesses a murder. A murder between a lesbian couple, whom both seemed to enjoy the dark act. Fran is traumatised by what she sees and flees the scene, but for some reason even she doesn’t understand, never tells a soul of what happened. Fran feels her sanity slipping each day, but is this actually what she truly wanted all along? Is this what she was looking for in her life? A reason to truly let herself go? Her story is one of battling with one’s own thoughts, and the struggles to contain violent urges.

The Pool

Bondi Icebergs is the most photographed pool in the world. This is where generations of children have learnt to swim, where the diehard have braved the frigid waters of one hundred winters, where the young and beautiful have come to bond and bake in the hot sun. THE POOL is a stunning cinematic experience with a soundtrack that harks back to the 1960s and a cast of characters who each have a story to tell. It speaks to the enduring power of community and our collective longing to find it. No matter your background or where you’re at – everyone is equal in their swimsuits.
