PEARLS BEFORE SWINE    

Dir. Richard Wolstencroft | 2000 | Australia | 95 min

The flick that launched a film festival. “Pearls Before Swine” is the story of a hit man who is given a contract on an author of subversive literature and pornography. We follow the life of Daniel (Boyd Rice) in the week that leads up to the hit, witnessing his passions, perversions and murderous career. An exploration of the theme of violence, sadomasochism, fascism and politics are mixed together in a uncompromising and immoral tale. Starring American musician (NON)/writer/artist Boyd Rice as Daniel, Lisa Hutchinson, Nick Crawford Smith and Greg Maxwell and featuring cameos by Ross Wilson, David Thrussell, Greg Scealy, Baby Lemonade, Phil Motherwell, George Huxley and Douglas P this film is an eclectic and disturbing Oz treat. Loved by some and hated by many, find out what all the fuss was about at this exclusive MUFF screening. The night will also celebrate the release of the film on DVD in Europe. Featuring a first ever screening of the camera test with introduction and Q&A with Festival director and film director Richard Wolstencroft.
