This film is from SEDITIOUS INTENT, a compilation of films inspired by Australia’s Anti-Terrorism Bill - some sad, some funny, some downright shocking.

Dissent is an essential part of democracy. But under the Anti-Terrorism legislation, the right to oppose or challenge the State is significantly compromised.

The Seditious Intent Short Film project was initiated in late October 2005. A call out was sent to filmmakers to produce a short work that was inspired by the anti-terror laws. The following 17 short films were selected from the submissions.

For details about the background of the project, and more info on the Sedition legislation, please visit: http://spinach7.com/si/background.html

The Anti-Terrorism bill, though passed in December 2005, is now under review by the Australian Law Reform Commission. You can make a public submission regarding this legislation through their website here: http://www.alrc.gov.au/inquiries/current/sedition/comments.htm

There is a good article explaining what the laws mean here on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_sedition_law
