VIGILANCE

Short documentary film, 2019.

Vigilance explores how it feels to be a woman moving through the world at night, and reclaims the horror-like nightscape of Melbourne to open discussions about whether it is worth trading freedom of movement for feelings of safety.

Nominated Best Australian Director (Short) Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, 2020

Little Wing Film Festival Official Selection, 2021

“This documentary is so necessary. Thank you for sharing these women's stories in such a thoughtful way.”

— Audience member, Little Wing Film Festival
“Such an important subject to represent, something that resonates with all women. I think the focus on women being unafraid to go about their lives despite the threat is really heartening to see.”

— Audience member, Little Wing Film Festival
“A hard watch, but something we all need to be talking about. Will unfortunately always be relevant.”
