Brendan Canty’s Atali’i O Le Crezent (Sons of the Crezent); which finds a young man dealing with the loss of his neighbourhood to gentrification and time and recalling his memories of the past through music, spoken word and dance.
Nash Edgerton’s Shark, starring Hollywood A-lister Rose Byrne as Sofie whose prank battle with her boyfriend Jack (Edgerton) gets out of hand when the couple goes on holiday and which delivers some serious bite.
