Mystery Road: Origin at Toronto Film Festival

ABC drama Mystery Road: Origin will have its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September,

Director Dylan River said, “I am proud to be premiering Mystery Road: Origin at TIFF, as we prepare for the North American release of our series.

“My first short film Nulla Nulla played at the festival in 2015, it feels fitting that my first attempt at long form series go there too. Australia’s first nations peoples and those of Canada share a very similar story of colonisation, today there are direct parallels of intergenerational trauma and the extreme disadvantages faced. Through our shared stories, we hope to bring attention to these issues and continue to heal.”

Also having a premiere are Australian films Carmen, Blueback (both World Premieres), Sweet As, and We Are Still Here.
