Antipodean Nocturne uses a chiaroscuro effect with a dramatic pixelated interplay of light and shadow resembling a charcoal drawing endowed with life.

Filmed from a rainforest eyrie overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Antipodean Nocturne was created on a hot, humid and stormy summer night…thunder, lightning, the love calls of cicadas…elemental forces at play as the planet warms. This potent display of nature was a breathtaking opportunity to respond and record a night when approximately 13,000 lightning strikes were detected in NSW. Antipodean Nocturne interrogates our resilience in extreme weather and our human vulnerability to environmental change.
