World premiering at this year's virtual South by Southwest Film Festival as an official Midnighters selection, Jaco Bouwer's Gaia is teased in a new trailer ahead of its debut screening.
Directed by Bouwer, written and produced by Tertius Kapp, and starring Monique Rockman, Carel Nel, Anthony Oseyemi, and Alex Van Dyk, Gaia will have its world premiere at the virtual SXSW on Tuesday, March 16th at 6:00pm CST.
Synopsis: "On a surveillance mission in a primordial forest, a park ranger encounters two survivalists following a post-apocalyptic lifestyle. The boy and his philosophical father seem to have their own religion, and a mysterious relationship to nature. There are many suspicious aspects to their existence, but when the cabin is attacked by strange, post-human beings one night, she learns that there is a greater threat in this emergent wilderness. GAIA is an ecological horror fantasy which engages the burning issues of our time."
