“I want to make a sterilized narrative, where you can move in and out between genres, build on the “no time – no place” Universe I’ve been telling my stories
in before. It is a luxury to have this, but it helps me to make the movie I want – it helps tell the story of family tragedies, family love, family values – the story about 5 brothers – 5 brothers who have to find each other – it’s that simple –
that’s the story I want to tell.”Director Anders Thomas Jensen

imberley Motley left her husband and three kids in the US in order to work as a defence lawyer in Kabul, Afghanistan. She is the first and only foreign lawyer who litigates in Afghanistan’s courts.
Kimberley is first to admit she came to Afghanistan for the money. But it has become about something else; Kimberley – who had never before left the US – saw how poorly the legal system in Afghanistan was run and how this part of the Afghan society had been totally neglected by the international community.
For over five years now, human
rights cases and troubled expats have motivated her to stay, but personal threats, including grenades thrown into the front of her offices, and general conditions in the country, make it harder and harder for Kimberly to continue her work.
Time is running out. Nobody knows what will happen in Afghanistan when the international troops leave. Or, when the risk becomes too high, will Kimberley be able to stay and continue her work for justice?K
“Kimberley Motley is an incredibly complex woman, who can’t be categorized or explained easily. It was exactly this multifaceted portrayal of women that attracted me and drove me to make this film. Equal parts of fascination and curiosity. How does one live a life in two so opposing worlds as Kim does? In the crossover between battlefield and domestic bliss.”Director Nicole Horanyi

UCKER is the story of Lawrence, an 18 year old Chinese Australian who cheats in his high school final year exams and fails to get into Medicine. Banished to stay with his uncle for the summer, Lawrence meets the Professor, a colourful, ageing conman. And so begins a road-trip with the Professor and his daughter Sarah. The Professor teaches Lawrence the art of swindling and cheating, and from Sarah, Lawrence learns a hard lesson in unrequited love.
direct translation of la petite mort, the French euphemism for orgasm, The Little Death is both an edgy sex comedy and a warm-hearted depiction of the secret lives of five suburban couples living in Sydney. Director Josh Lawson’s searing and sometimes shocking screenplay weaves together a story that explores a range of sexual fetishes and the repercussions that come with sharing them.
