“Terror Nullius” Screening
The Armidale Playhouse 309 Beardy Street (cnr Ohio Street), ARMIDALE, NSW, AustraliaTerror Nullius (55 mins, 2018) is in conjunction with the exhibition, Not Just Australian showing at New England Regional Art Museum. 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 willful narrative space where cinema fictions and historical facts permeate each other in new ways.
