Synopsis: The story for Night Shift came about through considerable delays at airports and long hours flying to and from the antipodes. Night Shift is a film about people who exist on the periphery. As we walk through the security checks, lengthy queues and muffled announcements, rarely do we notice or pay attention to someone like Salote – much less think about what her life might be like. This is also a film about perception. How we perceive and judge others based upon their jobs, their appearances and their actions. And how those perceptions can shift and judgements can be misguided until we fully understand the nature of someone else’s predicament. Night Shift shows us a different side of a country renowned for its majestic natural beauty and its idyllic lifestyle: a more ‘interior’ landscape, in every sense of the word.

Awards: 2012: Cannes Film Festival: Nominated for Best Short Film
