Tremor

Fresh from Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, this provocative short follows a young disabled man whose life is disrupted after an incident during water therapy for his spasms.

German-based Australian filmmaker and MIFF Accelerator Lab alumnus Rudolf Fitzgerald-Leonard (Coral, MIFF 2015; Kin, MIFF 2012) directs this raw, unsettling and singular piece about Leon, a young disabled man who nearly drowns when he experiences a seizure during his water therapy. Uncomfortably real and exquisitely crafted, Tremor is a challenging work sure to start conversations.
