Austin’s SXSW Film Festival may be a huge sprawly thing, but a short Indigenous film cut through via the spooky hours when terror claims the Texas night, winning the Jury Award Prize.
The Moogai, a psychological horror short, won its Jury Prize in the Midnight Short section. No Coincidence Media offers this synopsis: ‘The Moogai is a psychological horror about a young mother, Sarah, who becomes terrorised by a malevolent spirit she believes is trying to take her children. Sarah’s husband Fergus desperately wants to believe her but as she becomes more unstable, Matt is increasingly concerned for the safety of their family.’
