Sarah is a first-time new mum with a gorgeous baby, a caring husband and fun-loving friends. But beneath her smiles, she is having a really hard day. Through song dreamworlds, we discover that she’s struggling to navigate post-partum life. MUMLIFE is a sensational short film exploring the emotional hardships associated with new motherhood and uses five original indie/pop musical numbers to delve into these feelings. Set across the day of Sarah’s 30th birthday, her fabulously gay best friend, Derek, a social media make-up influencer, arrives to glam her up for a ‘small' family gathering. Already feeling overwhelmed by her parents' group, Sarah is pushed to the edge when she arrives to discover a large surprise party.

Women have been at the forefront of filmmaking from its inception over a century ago, yet Chloe Zhao’s recent Oscar victory makes her only the second woman in history — and the first woman of colour — to win the top prize.
How do you tell your story, when you’re excluded from the frame? In this edition, streaming live from 1.00 – 2.00 pm, Hattie Archibald will speak with fellow AFTRS alumni Gillian Armstrong, Samantha Lang, Vanessa Gazy and Unjoo Moon about their experiences bringing their vision to the screen.
They’ll touch on some important and timely questions: is there a truly female perspective when it comes to telling screen stories? Do female directors bring female characters to the screen in unique ways? We’ll also explore how the challenges, opportunities and issues confronting female directors have changed over time and what the future looks like for women in the Australian screen industries.

From the producers of ‘Boy’ and ‘The Breaker-Upperers’, ‘Cousins’ is an adaptation of Patricia Grace’s eponymous novel and features an all-Maori female cast and key creative team. Tikanga Māori (Māori cultural practice) is an integral part of Māori culture and is at the heart of the Cousins’ story. Filming in Rotoiti at Te Waiiti Marae under the care of Muriwai Ihakara and the local Ngāti Hinekura and Ngāti Pikiao people meant the film was grounded in Te Ao Māori. Aunties, uncles and cousins all played a role, some as actors and others lending a hand to the production.
Join Gardiner and Grace-Smith as they discuss their work on the film, the process of adapting the novel and their decision to co-direct the feature.
