beDevil

Visual artist, photographer, multimedia artist, and director Tracey Moffatt, is perhaps the most influential and nuanced voice in the artistic world of the Aborigines of Australia, while her work has been exhibited in institutions like Tate and the MoMA in Los Angeles. In beDevil, what unfolds is three stories dominated by the metaphysical element and by references to the Australian tradition. Rick, an Aborigine boy living by the marsh, is haunted by the image of an American soldier drowning in quicksand. Ruby and her family live in a house on the side of some abandoned railway lines, a site where anyone could see ghosts wandering around. A landlord is struggling to evict the tenants of an old warehouse, a couple that has been dead for years. Modern reality, the colonial past, historic traumas, legends, and doctrines intertwine in an immersive, delusional film.
