Sydney Indie Film Festival – Black Wedding

Feature Film:

Black Wedding (Germany)

Black Wedding is a pitch-dark comedy on marriage. Not a single word is spoken, but murder is ubiquitous. It’s the uproarious story of a husband and wife that artfully tries to kill each other — again and again, for 73 minutes, without speaking a single word. It’s the way it is sometimes in a marriage. But the crafty couple pursue their devious plans without their daughter, who has sinister intentions all her own. And so one dramatic event chases the other – hilariously, surprisingly, and shockingly.

Director: Thomas “Tom” Bohn
Cast: Diego Wallraff, Beate Maes, Mersiha Husagic, Timur Karakus

Short Films:

Brainless Killers (Australia)

Aaron and Andrew are making a routine trip to Zombridge to interview the mayor about a new initiative asking humans to tick Z on their donor cards which would donate the brain of the deceased to zombridge, where it can feed a family of three.

An unexpected discovery leads Aaron and Andrew to an illegal farm and hunting operation that would distroy relations between zombies and humans forever. They must escape, or at least get the footage back to the human race so this abhorrent treatment of humans can be shut down.
