'Shit' Premieres At Melbourne Women In Film Festival

Shit based on Patricia Cornelius’ play of the same name, comes to the big screen as part of the Melbourne Women in Film Festival.

Shit is a psychological drama which unfolds over one long night of incarceration in a bleak holding cell. Caged for hours on end, Billy, Bobby and Sam reveal their stories. Stories of a life time of violence, of abuse, of institutionalisation, told with unsentimental, sometimes comical, often gut-wrenching insight. They’ve done something terrible but all they’ve got to do is keep it together, to keep their mouths zipped. Sam has fallen apart and become a liability, the weak link. Billy and Bobby spend the night trying to hold tight, keeping them solid, a complete three, but life has finally caught up with them.

Shit is adapted from the hit play of the same name which premiered at MTC before playing Australia-wide and winning 4 Green Room Awards and receiving a Helpmann Awards nomination for director Susie Dee who also directs the film adaptation.

The film premieres on Saturday 25th February at ACMI and you can book tickets here.
