AUSTRALIAN RULES is based on the novel 'Deadly, Unna?' by Phillip Gwynne and set in a shabby little fishing village in outback South Australia. It is a contemporary story about two communities, the Goonyas (whites) and the Nungas (blacks), and the one thing they have in common - the local Australian Rules football team. Screened at Sundance, Edinburgh, others.
Outback Australia. 1971. Kid Snow, 30, a washed-up Irish fighter in a raucous travelling tent-boxing show, is offered a rematch against the man he fought ten years ago. It's his chance to turn the page on a tragedy that changed his life forever. But when the feisty single mother Sunny crosses Kid's path, he is forced to contemplate a future beyond life on the road.
