TASMANIAN PREMIERE

Will and Eden lost their son years ago. The tragedy affected their relationship irreversibly, to the point that she disappeared overnight. One day, Eden returns to the city; she’s married again and something in her seems to have changed, turning her into a disturbing presence, now unrecognisable even to Will.

Karyn Kusama is the acclaimed director of Girlfight, Aeon Flux and Jennifer’s Body. The Invitation won the Jury Award at the Sitges International Film Festival in 2015.

“The shivers arrive early and often in “The Invitation,” a teasingly effective thriller that builds a remarkable level of tension...”—Variety

This film is preceded by the short film The Things We Take, Grand Prize Winner of the Tasploitation Challenge 2016. The filmmakers will be in attendance for a Q&A.
