Screenings - Internal

Come to the FTI Cinema Wednesday 28 October for a double header of doom! Directors Wade K Savage and Damien Giglietta premiere their terrifying new films, The Dead Wastes and Trespass at a special local horror showcase and networking event. The self funded films have exceptional production values and demonstrate the quality work of local talent and crew.

The full line up of films includes:

The Dead Wastes Premiere Screening In a long dead world, a young woman puts herself to the ultimate test. Does she have the ability to overcome an opponent who has already died long ago?

Written and directed by Wade K Savage and shot on a RED camera.

Trespass Premiere Screening A quiet night in the woods is interrupted by a group of youths who are out for some extreme entertainment. After some off road driving, poor judgment and a cruel practical joke, someone is now aware of their presence.

Written and directed by Damien Giglietta and shot in 2K format.

Tinglewood When the McCallum family set up camp in the Tinglewood Forest for a family vacation, they encounter an unknown force that leads to a violent battle for survival.

Tinglewood by Alex von Hofmann and Antony Webb has recently been honoured as Best Horror Film at the Chicago International REEL Shorts Fest and won a raft of awards at the 22nd WA Screen Awards. This is your chance to catch this film – with re-worked sound and FX – in a local screening, if you haven’t already.

Living with Benjamin A chilling haunted-house story that explores the crippling effects agoraphobia can have on a lonely soul.

Made by FTI graduate, Jason Stringer Living with Benjamin comes direct from its premier at A Night of Horror Film Festival (WA).

Local Focus is FTI’s new screening program that highlights local films and investigates the filmmaking process with a post screening Q&A.

Come in costume and have your photo taken with the characters from The Dead Wastes as you network with WA’s local industry, in a life-like horror scene set, in the FTI Hall. Scary sounds from DJ Nathan J.

Best costume wins “A Week of Frights” DVD pack
