From visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things) comes a daring blend of science fiction, satire, and dark comedy that pushes the boundaries of reality and belief. At the center is Emma Stone in a stand-out, career-defining performance as Michelle Fuller, a powerful CEO whose life spirals when she’s abducted by two conspiracy-driven young men—Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis—convinced she is an alien plotting humanity’s downfall. As the lines between truth, delusion, and survival blur, the story unfolds with Lanthimos’s signature mix of absurdity, tension, and razor-sharp wit. With unforgettable turns from Alicia Silverstone and Stavros Halkias, Bugonia is both unsettling and wickedly entertaining—a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

From the visionary director Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here, We Need to Talk About Kevin) comes a haunting drama that drips with beauty, dread, and the cost of motherhood. Adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel, the film follows Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a new mother living in a remote rural farmhouse, whose fragile grasp on reality begins to slip under the weight of postpartum depression, isolation, and the conflicts between love, identity, and obligation. Opposite her, Robert Pattinson plays Jackson, her husband, whose own inner struggles mirror the tension of their fractured domestic life. Supporting performances from LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte add depth and turmoil to this psychologically intense story.

Before Australia’s most renowned Indigenous actor David Gulpilil passed away in South Australia in 2021, he made his family promise to lay him to rest on his Homeland of Gupulul in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. A Yolŋu man, David Gulpilil was an acclaimed actor who lived a tribal existence in Arnhem Land’s Arafura Swamp before starring in his first film ‘Walkabout’ which screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971. He was the first Australian First Nations actor to blaze a trail internationally. David Gulpilil constantly navigated two-worlds, yet the deeper side of his Yolŋu culture was rarely in the spotlight. As David Gulpilil journeys back to the place of his birth, we’re given rare insight into Yolŋu culture as his family take on the huge logistical challenge spanning over four and a half thousand kilometres by vehicles, planes, boats, on foot, and by helicopter, and across many months waiting for the right seasonal conditions. This final chapter of David Gulpilil’s incredible story, where ancestral Djan’kawu sisters are invoked to mark the spot for his grave, and clan leaders enact timeless song cycles to guide his spirit safely back to the place of its beginning, is a remarkable homecoming.

Punk renegade Shayne Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer) takes us on an iconoclastic tour through a career of highs and lows from suburban Dunedin to the heights of international fame and back again. Dunedin may seem like an unlikely location for a musical revolution, yet it became the locus of an indie music movement that was heard around the world. Riding the wave of the Dunedin Sound was Shayne Carter a loudmouthed teenage punk whose scrappy devil-may-care attitude is perfectly mirrored by Margaret Gordon’s cheeky and incredibly entertaining rockumentary. Early on Carter objects to having to narrate the film from his droll memoir and blithely suggests bringing in broadcaster Carol Hirschfeld to perform the task instead, which is exactly what Gordon does. We get taken on a self-deprecating tour of some of Dunedin’s less desirable suburbs allowing Carter to reminisce about his schooldays, including a sister-traumatising first gig in the school hall. Gordon’s film also acts as a bit of a primer on the Dunedin Sound with scene bigwigs like The Clean and The Verlaines at first surpassing Carter’s teenage punk ambitions until Straitjacket Fits is born out of tragedy and international stardom awaits. Carter is still living the punk life as Dimmer making now as good a time as any to celebrate a Life in One Chord. Screening to be followed by a Q&A with the director Margaret Gordon, moderated by music writer Martin Boulton. This film is part of BEATS WORKING - an annual film festival celebrating the best music docs of the year.
