Dir. Jon Hewitt | 1998 | Australia | 80 min

It may have been one of the world’s first digital features, but you didn’t see it at the ACMI digi film fest last year! Slammed by our gatekeepers of public taste and morality; Grand Prize winner at CUFF 99 (Chicago); screened on Channel 9 in prime time; this intense marriage of cop thriller and Brechtian dialectic is more pertinent now than ever. Shot guerrilla style in Melbourne’s mean streets circa 1996, Redball’s expose/celebration of aberrance in frontline policework was called far fetched last century - now it’s all coming true! Should be essential viewing for Mr Fitzgerald and cronies and is a must for anyone who thinks Blue Heelers and Stingers tell it like it is. Bring on the Royal Commission!
