Editor-turned-director Sean Lahiff's environmental horror/thriller 'Carnifex' and Brenda Matthews and Nathaniel Schmidt's feature doc 'The Last Daughter' will each screen at the Adelaide Film Festival in October.
Sean Lahiff's 'Carnifex' follows aspiring documentary maker Bailey (Alexandra Park) as she joins conservationists Grace (Sisi Stringer) and Ben (Harry Greenwood) to travel deep into the Australian outback to track and record native animals left displaced and devastated by recent bushfires.
'Carnifex' producer Gena Helen Ashwell has responded to claims from author Matthew J. Barbeler that the upcoming film shares "striking similarities" with his 2016 novel of the same name, describing them as "confusing".
