As part of the Just Not Australian exhibition, NorthSite Contemporary Arts will be screening TERROR NULLIUS by Soda Jerk.

MA 15 + | 54mins
TERROR NULLIUS is in conjunction with the exhibition Just Not Australian showing at NorthSite Contemporary Arts. Presented in partnership with End Credits Film Club.
Part political satire, eco-horror and road movie, TERROR NULLIUS is a political revenge fable that offers an unwriting of Australian national mythologies. Binding together a documentary impulse with the bent plotlines of Australian film texts, Soda Jerk’s revisionist history opens a wilful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways.
The apocalyptic desert camps of Mad Max 2 become the site of refugee detention, flesh-eating sheep are recast as anti-colonial insurgents and a feminist motorcycle gang goes vigilante on Mel Gibson.
