Film #1: Searching for the Tassie Tiger
Tassie tigers, otherwise known as thylacines, were thought to have become extinct after the last known specimen Benjamin died in a Hobart zoo in 1936. But new evidence and a growing civilian movement are challenging that belief, with the Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia (TAGOA) boasting 10,000 members Australia-wide.This short documentary for VICE Australiana follows Neil Waters, a retired gardener who commits his life savings to an epic two year search for the ancient marsupial. As Neil edges closer to a tantalising re-discovery, the search brings him hope and meaning, but we also learn the price of this obsession.

Film #2: Kate & Larapinta
Kate & Larapinta follows adventurer Kate Leeming as she sets out to cycle the full 700km length of the Finke River, through some of the toughest, most remote terrain in Australia. With a small support crew, Kate faces searing heat, mechanical breakdowns, physical depletion, and moments of emotional vulnerability. The film captures more than a daring expedition. Its a meditation on purpose, resilience, and the ghosts we carry. As the landscape pushes her to the brink, questions of belonging, permission, and legacy rise to the surface. This is not just a story of reaching the endits about what it takes to keep going.
