Witness a wild, epic, hilarious and surprisingly moving year in the life of a Sasquatch family, as they search for more of their own kind across a vast hinterland. A jaw-dropping hit at Sundance 2024.

The latest ride from the Zellner brothers (Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, SFF 2014) takes place somewhere in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, following a family of Sasquatches — the creatures also known as Bigfoots. Brilliantly nuanced performances by unrecognisable Riley Keough and Jesse Eisenberg bring the apelike creatures to life with grunts, gestures and other (and we mean all other) nonverbal means. The Sasquatches forage for food, build primitive shelters, and mate amid stunning natural beauty. But after tragedy strikes, an unsettling, even apocalyptic mood takes over – and the family makes a shocking discovery that changes everything. Funny and provocative, disturbing but oddly moving, this is a visionary film like no other.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.

It is entirely gripping and a witty and unnerving way of representing the mysterious silence of animals and a future world in which human beings can no longer exist. Their sunset is our sunset
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Sasquatches may not exist, but miraculously enough, this movie does, and like the creatures it depicts, it must be seen to be believed
Peter Debruge, Variety
