A Grand Mockery (2024)

<div>Grand Mockery is one of the most exciting examples of truly independent filmmaking to come out of Australia in recent memory.</div><div><br></div><div>Shot on soft, luminous Super 8 film, it follows Josie, a young man leading a life of passive mundanity in Brisbane. Slowly but surely, his psychic ills start to become more and more disturbing, so he sets out to roam the rainforest hinterlands of Queensland.</div><div><br></div><div>Winner of Best Feature Film at SXSW Sydney, A Grand Mockery stars co-director Sam Dixon and Kate Dillon (also known as Babyshakes Dillon of the Brisbane rock band Full Flower Moon Band). Structured as a diptych, the film is tonally playful, beginning as a work of morbid comic realism before it transforms alongside Josie himself. It’s simultaneously singular and a flashback to underground filmmaking before it became codified.</div>ComedyPT1H45MR18+
