From Picnic at Hanging Rock to Wolf Creek to Talk to Me, we Aussies have always taken a unique stab at horror – our unusual approach to crafting fear on film establishing horror as one of Australia's most critically and financially successful genre exports. Join us as we bring together a dynamic lineup of homegrown talent as they dissect their craft, explore industry trends and break down the art behind producing truly chilling cinema.   

Sit down with Ari Harrison (The Moogai, Talk to Me) and Jessica Butland (Zombie Plane, Rippy) as they dissect what sets Australian horror apart including insights into the creative process, the impact of location and culture, the growing international interest in Australian horror and the creative strategies they use to bring terrifying tales to the screen. Learn how these talented producers approach storytelling, finance, and distribution to craft films that keep audiences on the edge of their seats in an exploration of horror’s rich cinematic landscape.   

Additional panellists to be announced.
