Trailer: Atmospheric Eco-Horror GAIA Coming to SXSW
Attendees of SXSW can check out the atmospheric eco-horror Gaia, premiering in the Midnighters section on March 16th. Directed by Jaco Bouwer and starring Monique Rockman, Carel Nel and Alex van Dyk, this fantasy horror is about a park ranger who discovers a man and his son living wild in an ancient forest, and a secret that is about to change the world.
Synopsis:
On a surveillance mission in a primordial forest, a park ranger encounters two survivalists following a post-apocalyptic lifestyle. The boy and his philosophical father seem to have their own religion, and a mysterious relationship to nature. There are many suspicious aspects to their existence, but when the cabin is attacked by strange, post-human beings one night, she learns that there is a greater threat in this emergent wilderness. Gaia is an ecological horror fantasy which engages the burning issues of our time.
