Peacock
Matthias is a master of performance. Do you need a ‘cultured boyfriend’ to impress your friends? A perfect son to influence your business partners? Or maybe just a sparring partner to rehearse an argument?
Whatever role is required, Matthias can play it. But while he excels at becoming exactly who others need him to be, his carefully constructed life begins to unravel. As constant roleplaying strains his relationships, Matthias finds himself increasingly disconnected from his own identity.
Anchored by Albrecht Schuch’s award winning performance, Peacock is a singular tragicomedy which captures with offbeat humour the essence of human relationships.
Winner | Stockholm International Film Festival – Best First Feature Award
Winner | Austrian Film Awards – Best Leading Actor (Albrecht Schuch)
“Wenger’s script is a sly, finely balanced thing, pointedly and often hilariously poking fun at corporate and capitalistic ideals of self-improvement and social coordination, without ridiculing the individuals who feel beholden to those standards.”
– Variety
“Wenger’s smoothly structured debut is peppered with dry comic moments designed to push Matthias towards breakdown or reinvention”
– Screen Daily

Better yet, pick up a CineSaver Pass. Five entries to any film during the festival to use however you like – and it’s $10 cheaper!
You can bring some friends, or just use them all yourself and really soak in the festival. Once you have the pass, you have the control. You can even pre-book the sessions you want online, so you know you won’t miss out.
Festival Hub
Come out of the cold and into the hearty embrace of the BREC Sky Bar as we transform it into our Festival Hub. It’s open an hour before the first screening on each day, so you can come early and indulge in a drink and your favourite movie snacks – or hang out after your film, and make some new friends with fellow film lovers.
The Festival Hub is your space to relax, unwind, and connect with some great international film.
