The Ian Potter Cultural Trust withdrew the promotional support from one of its key works, the political satire Terror Nullius, one day before the film’s world premiere.
The premiere of Terror Nullius will take place at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Acmi), in Melbourne’s Federation Square, on Tuesday 20 March.
Sydney-born sisters Dan and Dominique Angeloro, the makers of the film through their collective Soda_Jerk, describe Terror Nullius as “a political revenge fable which offers an un-writing of Australian national mythology”.
The 55-minute film was awarded a $100,000 grant by the Ian Potter Moving Image Commission in 2016.
