Writer-director Alies Sluiter’s short film Ayaan took home five awards at the recent South Australian Screen Awards (Sasa), including the grand jury prize and best drama.
Produced Meng Xiong and Elspeth Trautwei, Ayaan tells the story of an escaped asylum seeker and her baby, who encounter an Aboriginal man on a rural Australian beach, and must decide whether to trust him or attempt the 400km journey to the nearest city, on foot and alone.
