Anne Hamilton-Byrne era una mujer guapa y carismática, pero también psicótica e increíblemente peligrosa. Convencida de que era la reencarnación de Jesucristo, Hamilton-Byrne lideró una secta apocalíptica que se instaló en Melbourne entre los años 1960 y 1990. Junto a su marido Bill, adoptó numerosos niños, muchos de ellos a través de engaños a sus padres o a través de familiares de otros miembros de la secta, y decidió criarlos como hijos suyos. Aislados del mundo, uniformados y con el pelo teñido de rubio, los niños fueron tratados con LSD para influir en su comportamiento. Tras conocerse el escándalo, fueron rescatados en una redada en 1987, pero su pesadilla sólo acababa de empezar, no sólo por los traumas que les dejó la secta, sino por el trato que recibieron de una sociedad conservadora que los veía como cómplices del culto.

Filmed during and after his time on the High Court of Australia, this documentary about Justice Michael Kirby explores the personal, moral and spiritual convictions of one of our most compassionate and incisive legal minds. Michael Kirby reveals himself in this film through a long-form interview in a way he has never done before. It was only at the age of 61 he publicly revealed for the first time that he had been in a homosexual relationship since 1969 with partner Johan van Vloten. This film represents the first time Johan has spoken publicly about their life together.

Melbourne filmmaker Brian McKenzie spent 5 years working on this engrossing study of a not-so-typical Brunswick household. It's a laconic, observational documentary similar to the director's I'll Be Home For Christmas (MFF '85), in which McKenzie plays a central part, camera in tow, as he documents the lifestyle of Graham (a youth in his 20s), his family and friends. After having spent so long with the family, McKenzie becomes part of the furniture - a situation which enables him to dig deep into the subject's lives.
