Yakka

Yakka

Unclassified 18+
Dir. Jack Shepherd / 2024 / 15 mins / Australia / English / Drama / World Premiere

As two teenage brothers get up to mischief on summer holidays in a coastal fishing town, the cycles of toxic masculinity above the water reflect the hierarchies of predation below.

Gorgeously shot by writer/director Jack Shepherd, and drawing heavily from his own youth around Pittwater, New South Wales, this sun-kissed portrait of the darkness of Australian masculinity is buoyed by the twin lead performances from real-life siblings Jiya and Javi Vander Straaten.
