Take a prehistoric plunge into the high-stakes fossil trade, where dinosaur bones are in big demand and palaeontology is losing out to deep-pocket private collectors. CPH:DOX selected.
From Mongolia to Montana, dedicated scientists trawl the ground to understand the past and future of our climate-change impacted planet. Meanwhile, Gobi Desert skull hunters recklessly destroy precious sites. The Bones is full of unforgettable characters: one palaeontologist haggles over discoveries with Saharan landowners, while over in Montana, Jack Horner (a Jurassic Park advisor) faces stiff competition for anything T-Rex-related. This dusty, hard-scrabble world is a far cry from the Parisian auction house where a giant triceratops sells for 6.6 million euros. Exploring the intersection of science and capitalism, The Bones is a highly entertaining and cinematic feast directed by SFF alum Jeremy Xido.
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.
