Far from the Apple Tree

Grant McPhee’s chilling fairytale horror about a young art student who gets her dream job working for a famous artist.

When art student Judith (Sorcha Groundsell) secures a job with the acclaimed artist Roberta Roslyn (Victoria Liddelle), she cannot believe her luck.

But as she explores Roberta’s work and spends more time embedded in her life, she slowly unravels a secret involving the artist’s missing – or deceased? - daughter who bears an uncanny resemblance to her. Experimental filmmaker McPhee shot the film using different print formats and intercuts the narrative with abstract, dreamlike visuals. It’s a movie drenched in art where the lines between reality and illusion blur, both for its characters and the viewer.
