TERROR NULLIUS (trailer), 2018 from Soda_Jerk on Vimeo.
“Part political satire, eco-horror and road movie, TERROR NULLIUS is a counterculture film which offers an un-writing of Australian national mythology. Using existing film footage as raw material, the project works entirely within, and against, the official archive in order to achieve a queering and othering of Australian cinema. Envisaged as “A Political Revenge Fable In Three Acts”, TERROR NULLIUS is a world in which minorities and animals conspire, and not-so-nice white guys finish last. Where misogynistic remarks are met with the sharp beak of a bird or the jaws of a crocodile, and girl gangs rule the highways. Within this fable, Skippy schools Sonny on intersectional feminism, a house is haunted by the spectre of queer Australia, the mystery of Hanging Rock is resolved, and a bicentennial celebration is ravaged by flesh-eating sheep” – Soda_Jerk
