The Meaningless Daydreams of Augie & Celeste

Unclassified 18+

A vision of wild, nightmarish childhood play stunningly shot on 16mm with vintage lenses.

As two best friends play games of romantic rivalry and motherhood, director Pernell Marsden shows how young girls try out and take on societal expectations of womanhood. The Meaningless Daydreams of Augie & Celeste won Sydney’s Rouben Mamoulian Award for Best Australian Director in the short-film competition.
