Maya Newell's feature documentary 'In My Blood It Runs' has been winning hearts and minds since the world premiere in competition at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival last year.
Set on Christmas Island, 'Island of the Hungry Ghosts' explores the theme of migration through the 40 million red crabs that move from the jungle to the sea when the moon is full, and the asylum seekers that are being held indefinitely in a high-security detention centre on the island.
In partnership with Bonsai Films, FFS will release Alena Lodkina’s 'Strange Colours' next week and Gabrielle Brady’s 'Island of the Hungry Ghosts' in the first quarter of next year.
'Island of the Hungry Ghosts', a hybrid documentary-feature which portrays the parallel worlds of migration on Christmas Island, is set for its Australian premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival this August.
