Screens with LOVE AND WORK | Dir: Pete Ohs, USA, 73 mins | VICTORIAN PREMIERE
Diane and Fox love to work. Unfortunately, they live in a polarized world where having a job is illegal. From US indie director Pete Ohs (Jethika, 2022) come this pitch-black, bittersweet masterpiece of speculative cinema satire. Film Threat cited its, “unique charm”, calling the script by stars Stephanie Hunt and Will Madden, “strange, inspiring” and the film, “an offbeat social commentary that will entertain [and] intrigue fans of Orwell and Vonnegut.”
