Brisbane Premiere – Red Carpet from 6:00pm for a 7:10pm screening at the Palace Barracks screening.
A young Aboriginal couple have just had their first child, but what should be one of the happiest times in their lives turns to terror when Sarah (Sharee Sebens, The Sapphires) starts seeing a malevolent spirit she believes is trying to take her baby.
Her husband Fergus desperately wants to believe her, but as she becomes more unstable he is increasingly concerned for the safety of their child. Is Sarah really being visited by a child-stealing spirit or is she the biggest threat to their family’s safety? The Moogai explores post-natal depression, transgenerational trauma and Australia’s stolen generation. But it is also a story of the value of children and the power of family.
Cast: Shari Sebbens, Meyne Wyatt, Tessa Rose, Clarence Ryan, Toby Leonard Moore and Bella Heathcote.
We are pleased to present the Short Film, Hitch Hiking is Safe, prior to the feature screening.
