Terror Nullius
2018, 54 mins
Dir. Soda Jerk
Unclassified (15+)

Part political satire, eco-horror and road movie, Terror Nullius is a political revenge fable constructed entirely from samples pirated from the Australian cinema cannon. The apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention, flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents and the women of Australian cinema go vigilante on Mel Gibson. Working within and against the official archive, Soda Jerk’s narrative collage film offers an incendiary un-writing of Australian national mythologies.

“A dazzling, kinetic, mishmashed beast of an Australian film.” – The Guardian

“A potent patchwork of similarly combined sounds and images, imbued with a new, unequivocal political agenda that actively mocks and disempowers.” – Artlink
