Carnation

With over two decades of output beginning with a splash at the 2000 edition of Sundance with Chasing Buddha to showing Cicada in the 2009 Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, his unofficial home of sorts has become the Lido. Having premiered 2011’s Hail in the Orrizonti section and contributed to the festival’s 70th anniversary with his short, in 2013 Amiel Courtin-Wilson co-directed Ruin and it picked up a Special Jury Prize at the fest. The Australian filmmaker ‘s latest is titled Carnation and would have filmed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Producers include Abby Harri, John Baker, Kate Laurie, Chris Luscri, Freeman Trebilcock.

Gist: In the American South, two lovers forge an all-consuming love as their physical and spiritual worlds are pushed to the limits of time and space. CARNATION is an impressionistic portrait of love and the ways in which we attempt to transcend our mortality.

Release Date/Prediction: Venice Film Festival will likely re-invite the filmmaker.
