Further We Search

Overview

A friend of mine believes that you should always lose yourself in an unknown city; when you wander around you take in so many details, see all of those hidden locations that would otherwise be lost behind your tourist guidebook. It's a lovely idea, but when that sun starts to set and the temperature drops into the bone-chilling territory, I'm a sucker for knowing the quickest route possible back to my warm bed.

Further We Search, the debut film by Melbourne director/writer/producer Darius Devas, follows Age (Xavier Samuel), a young man who doesn't necessarily have the option of his own bed, but manages to link up with a cast of curious, flawed souls in his quixotic explorations of an underground Melbourne.

Shot on a budget of only $8000, this is an extremely independent feature - so much so that there's only one screening of it in Sydney. If you find yourself needing a dose of fresh, homegrown cinema, this is certainly a great way to get your midweek fix.
