SWIMMER IN A CIRCUS

A raw, intelligent and haunting film project unlike any made in Australia since the 1970's..

The protagonist is an illegal middle eastern female immigrant - and although Australia projects an image of itself internationally as a sunny, carefree place, this film will show that for many living life on the fringe, it’s a nightmare with sunshine.

Fafa has created short films before in a more experimental style and now that she has created a dramatic script, integrated with her love for surrealism, the project shows the same potential for greatness as the likes of Felini, Lars Von Trier and Ingmar Bergman.
