Following its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, ‘Corpus’, a genre-bending erotic body horror from rising filmmaker Corrin Evans recently had its Australian premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The film follows Sayo, a soulful nightlife photographer and small-time drug dealer in the summer of 1998 in New York City. When he’s invited to a party upstate by Vince, his long-time friend, unrequited love, and a movie star on the rise, they — together with their rowdy friend Ross — drive to a remote, bucolic manor in hopes of some summer debauchery. Upon arrival, they discover that the promise of a party is actually three mysterious women — Billie, Wren, and Cata — whose disturbing agenda draws the boys into a dark web of seduction and terror. We spoke with Australian actor Brodie Townsend and the films co-writer and producer Lily Cowles (who is also one of the leads in the film) while they were in Melbourne to find out more about their roles in this super horny horror film.
We also revisited our interview with Academy-Award winner Kevin Macdonald whose documentary ‘High & Low – John Galliano’ is streaming now on DocPlay.  The film delves into the captivating and complex life of the flamboyant and iconoclastic head designer at Dior, John Galliano, who soared to unimaginable heights before experiencing a public downfall that shattered his career.
