The Coffs Coast’s Screenwave International Film Festival (Apr 20 – May 5), is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Australian Premiere of Brandon Cronenberg’s latest cinematic disruption, Infinity Pool, set to take place on Tuesday, April 25th, at SWIFF’23.
“SWIFF’23 is incredibly excited to host the Australian Premiere of Infinity Pool and proud to be showcasing Cronenberg’s latest deliciously innovative work of cinema,” SWIFF Artistic Director Kate Howat commented “Festival-goers can expect to be on the edge of their seats as they are taken on a wild and outlandish ride through Cronenberg’s masterful vision.”

Starring Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman, SWIFF’22), Mia Goth (Pearl, X), and Australian actress Cleopatra Coleman (Dopesick), Infinity Pool is a gripping and tense, visceral satire, further cementing Cronenberg’s reputation as a provocateur, with his signature cerebral style on full display. In the vein of Cronenberg’s previous films, Antiviral and Possessor (SWIFF’21), Infinity Pool will have fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see the film for the first time in Australia. While staying at an isolated island resort, James (Skarsgärd) and Em (Coleman) are enjoying a perfect vacation of pristine beaches, exceptional staff, and soaking up the sun. But guided by the seductive and mysterious Gabi (Goth), they venture outside the resort grounds and find themselves in a culture filled with violence, hedonism, and untold horror. A tragic accident leaves them facing a zero tolerance policy for crime: either you’ll be executed, or, if you’re rich enough to afford it, you can watch yourself die instead.
