Subversive counterculture flick

A wild ride across a post-Australian landscape, Skeleton Girls. A Kidnapped Society is a mind melting mix of bold animations, dark satire and punk thriller narrative.

Driven by a pulsating punk and post punk score, this digital hardcore Wizard of Oz fable is a provocative dissection of the issues of our times: the polarisation of the world; the spectre of fear and violence; and the ideological fight for influence in society.

In true DIY punk spirit Skeleton Girls. A Kidnapped Society smashes convention and challenges what is possible on a micro-budget.

Imagine the mutant off-spring of Run Lola Run, Subway, Suburbia and Repo Man with a healthy dose of mixed-media flair and you’re half way to knowing what you’re in for!
