All Those Creatures (unclassified)

​​​​​An adolescent boy attempts to untangle his memories of a mysterious infestation, the unravelling of his father, and the little creatures inside us all.  

Winner of the 'Short Film Palme d'Or' at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and 'Best Australian Short Film' at the 2018 Melbourne International Film Festival.

Inside (MA15+)

Guy Pearce stars in this prison-set portrait of institutionalisation and salvation – the feature debut from Charles Williams.

When Mel Blight (Vincent Miller) is transferred from juvenile detention to a maximum-security adult jail, he’s assigned to share a cell with one of Australia’s most infamous inmates, Mark Shepard (Cosmo Jarvis, Shōgun). Seizing an opportunity, the hardened Warren Murfett (Pearce) recruits Mel to kill Mark, who has a contract on his head. As Warren nears parole and a reunion on the outside with his son Adrian (Toby Wallace), the relationship between the three men grows more entangled and intimate. Who can make amends for their crimes? And who is beyond saving?

 Inside is the impressive first feature from ascendant filmmaker Williams, whose drama  All Those Creatures won the 'Short Film Palme d’Or' at Cannes. Shot in Melbourne and regional Victoria, the film showcases a trio of powerhouse performances – from Miller in his debut role, to a transformative turn from Jarvis, to Pearce conveying both hope and hopelessness as a prison lifer – and poignantly examines the complex interplay between incarceration, rehabilitation and remorse.

Content Warning: The feature film INSIDE is rated MA15+. It contains strong themes, injury detail, coarse language and nudity.
