Two new Australian films are set to make their world premiere at the upcoming Sydney Film Festival in June. Among the confirmed titles are 'In Vitro,' a sci-fi mystery thriller directed by Will Howarth and Tom McKeith, starring Ashley Zukerman. The film is set on a remote cattle farm in the near future. Another Australian film, 'In The Pool,' directed by Ian Darling, offers a cinematic portrayal of a year in the life of the iconic Bondi Icebergs and the people who frequent it.
New Zealand actor Rachel House will also debut her feature directorial work at the festival with 'The Mountain,' a story about three children finding solace and friendship through adventure in the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. The film is executive produced by Taika Waititi and is eligible for the festival's First Nations Award, which boasts the largest cash prize for First Nations filmmaking globally.
