Loaded LandscapesEscape the sweltering heat, step into our cinema and embark on a journey through LOADED LANDSCAPES.
During a Valentine’s Day picnic at Hanging Rock, an Australian rock formation, a group of schoolgirls goes missing. The disappearance leaves the conservative Victorian community shocked and frightened: were the girls not seduced by the overwhelming power of the mysterious rock formation? PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK follows the impact of the disappearance on those left behind.
Less a mystery than a journey into the mystical. Weir’s beautiful, unsettling film delves into the social and sexual repression of Australian society. The untameable power of nature is portrayed by Weir in a poetic, ghostly manner.
