To The Death - screening

ACMI X Presents

To The Death Screening + Conversation

Rose McIver | United States + Australia | 2023 | Unclassified (15+)
Film & Talk

This event has ended and tickets are no longer available.

Join us for a special screening of To The Death, followed by a Q&A with the film's co-writers & stars Menik Gooneratne (Mortal Engines, Lion) and Yasmin Kassim (Jungle, Sex Lives of College Girls).

To the Death takes a darkly satirical look at tokenism in casting – telling the story of two South Asian actors who are forced to fight to the death for a role, as it’s physically impossible to have more than one brown person on a show.

After the screening Gooneratne and Kassim will be joined by other special guests for a discussion exploring their experiences as creatives in the film and media industries and workshopping collaborative ways of increasing authentic representation.
