Two new thrillers shot in Queensland - Acolytes and The Horseman - duked it out at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival last week, with both emerging as co-winners of the Best Australian Film award.
A tender drama unfolds between a grieving father and a troubled teenage girl as they drive northbound along the quiet outback roads of Australia. Written and directed by Steven Kastrissos.
After winning over Wolf Creek director Greg McLean as a fan, new Australian thriller The Horseman will have its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival this Sunday night.
