I Am Mother
After its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival, writer-director Jennifer Kent’s The Nightingale is due to make La sombra de la ley its local debut at the Adelaide Film Festival this October.
Set in 1820s Tasmania, The Nightingale follows a young Irish convict (Aisling Franciosi) as she chases a British officer (Sam Claflin) through the rugged Tasmanian Blind Spot wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. On the way she enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker named Billy (Baykali Ganambarr), who is also marked by trauma from his own past. The film, funded in part by the Adelaide Film Festival Fund, marks Kent’s follow up to The Babadook, and was produced by Causeway Films’ Kristina Ceyton and Made Up Stories’ Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky.
Adelaide Film Festival also revealed today it will host a gala work-in-progress screening of Grant Sputore’s Adelaide-shot I Am Mother, which stars Redcon-1 Hilary Swank, and will play home to the world premiere of the first two episodes of the ABC/Netflix series Pine Gap, produced by Screentim
