BlackWoman (Mwajemi Hussein), locked in a cage under the desert’s scorching sun, has been abandoned by her masked captors. Escaping, she ventures through apocalyptic landscapes, entering new scenarios, up the Mountain, and on to the City, where BlackWoman is pressed to reckon with her identity, her mission, and her will.
Filmed in Tasmania and South Australia, Rolf de Heer’s The Survival of Kindness is like extrapolating beautiful poetry, punctuated by moments of action, brutality, sincerity – and kindness.
"An elegant reverie about the violence and the stoicism beneath the surface of ordinary life." - The Guardian
