Aussie & NZ Films Showcase
There’s something special about seeing our own streets, voices, and experiences on the big screen. At Pivot, we’re proud to champion Australian and New Zealand films that reflect the heart, humour and grit of our communities. Come celebrate the incredible talent telling bold, local stories—right here, where they belong.
Spit
Wildly original and proudly Aussie, Spit is a no-holds-barred story of redemption, resilience, and ridiculous misunderstandings.
Set in an immigration detention centre, it follows Johnny “Spit” Spitieri—an ex-junkie and accidental outlaw—as he navigates old grudges and new alliances in a system that never saw him coming.
With its sharp-edged humour and deeply human moments, Spit is Australian storytelling at its most unapologetic.

The Correspondent
Filmed right in the heart of Sydney and based on a powerful true story, The Correspondent follows an Australian journalist wrongfully imprisoned in Egypt after reporting on government corruption. As international pressure mounts and time runs out, this gripping political thriller explores the cost of truth-telling on the global stage.
Tense, emotional, and deeply relevant, it’s a must-see for those who believe in the power of journalism—and the courage it takes to speak out.
