For many in our industry, 2020 was an incredible challenge. From the cancellation of film shoots and festivals, to the shutdown of cinemas and theatres. From the shake-up of the Producer Offset, to the initial suspension and then watering down of Australian content sub-quotas. For those of us releasing an independent feature in this changing and unpredictable landscape, we’ve had to become even more flexible and innovative to ensure our films not only reach audiences, but that we remain viable in a market where the obstacles continue to multiply.
This time last year we were in the midst of a successful festival run for my second feature: Australia’s first women’s horror anthology Dark Whispers – Volume 1 featuring 11 women directors from across the country. The project combined my love for dark genre with my passion for advocacy for gender equality in the screen industry by spotlighting female voices in horror.

‘Morgana’.
Boutique distributor and sales agent Juno Films has acquired the worldwide rights (excluding Anz) to Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard’s feature documentary Morgana.
The deal follows the film’s North American launch at Fantasia Film Festival.
The 71-minute indie doco follows Morgana Muses, who in her late 40s was an unhappy housewife in Albury. By 50, she had moved from Australia to Berlin and become a feminist pornography icon.
Produced by House of Gary’s Karina Astrup, the film – shot over five years – combines interview and verite footage with Morgana, handmade miniature elements, animation, archival footage, and Morgana’s own erotica films.
Astrup negotiated the deal with Juno CEO and co-founder Elizabeth Sheldon, with release plans to be announced at a later date.
Sheldon said: “Morgana is the rare portrait of a middle-aged woman confronting and rejecting expectations (of heteronormativity) through sex and art. Filmmakers Isabel Peppard and Josie...

Morgana was in her late forties when she got divorced. The people she had thought of as friends immediately began to shun her. All that her upbringing had focused on was teaching her to be a good wife and mother. She felt as if her role was over, her existence now pointless, and made serious plans to end her life. There was just one thing she wanted to do first - to experience a night of pleasure with an escort, sex on her own terms. It was an experience that turned her life around. By the time she turned 50 she was an award-winning porn star with a thriving social life. Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard's documentary looks at how it happened - and at what came next.

The bored and lonely housewife embarking on a life of erotic pleasure has been a porn-movie trope since at least the days of the 8mm-stag film. But the Belle de Jour-style protagonist is never an unhappy Australian mom who goes from planning suicide, to radically reclaiming agency by hiring a male escort, to soaring to international fame as an award-winning feminist pornographer. Until now. Meet Morgana Muses, the unlikely star of Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard’s Fantasia Film Festival-premiering documentary Morgana.

Playing at Fantasia 2020, Morgana is one of the most interesting docs I've seen at this festival --- or ever, due to its sheer humanity and empathy. You can read the full review here. ScreenAnarchy was able to speak to the directors of this thought-provoking, tear-inducing doc --- Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard --- who told us about how Morgana came to be, normalizing the sexuality of mature women, and more. If you're in Canada, you can watch Morgana on demand via Fantasia during the run of the festival, from August 20 - September 2. Check out the trailer below.

Josie Hess sets up a scene for Morgana
Morgana Muses was in her late forties when she got divorced. With no friends and no support, she thought that everything was over for her, and made serious plans to end her life. Within a couple of years, however, she was an international porn star winning acclaim in feminist circles and surrounded by friends and admirers. Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard’s documentary about her – which also covers what happened when she realised she still had other battles to fight – is one of the more unusual offerings at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival. Despite the challenges posed by the time difference between Scotland and Australia, where the two directors are based, we managed to connect, and they told me how their film came to be.

Features: Morgana Muses | Directed by Isabel Peppard, Josie Hess
Give me something new in the guise of a strange premise-based documentary any day of the week and I’m going to be pleased. Documentary films can be incredibly powerful, intriguing and hugely entertaining, and when I read the synopsis for Morgana, from Josie Hess and Isabel Peppard, I was curious and somewhat bewildered. It doesn’t really sound like a documentary, but rather a dark thriller or something like that. The tale of a desperate housewife whose life isn’t going anywhere close to how she wants, makes the decision to end it all, but finds herself saved by an unexpected detour that involves sexual reawakening and a reinvention of self.
Using interviews from a variety of relevant people as well as some delightfully designed animated elements, Morgana tells the tale of this woman, Morgana Muses, who, for many years...

Every now and then, a film comes along to remind us that women are indeed fully fleshed out human beings with their own hopes, dreams, fears, anxieties, and doubts. One of the documentaries playing at this year's Fantasia International Film Festival is Morgana, and this film belongs to the rarified group of deeply humane works focused on women. Directed by the Austrailian duo Isabel Peppard and Josie Hess, Morgana follows human phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes feminist pornographer Morgana Muses, a 53-year-old woman who's finally living her own life on her own terms. Previously, Morgana had been trapped in a loveless marriage devoid of intimacy with two children. Even before that, she spent part of her young life literally living underground in Outback caves with parents that seemed consistently urged her to...

"There's a very personal quality to it... that isn't the norm." House of Gary has released an official trailer for an indie documentary called Morgana, profiling the life of an Australian housewife-turned-pornstar now known as Morgana Muses. This premiered at the Melbourne Film Festival last year, and is next playing at the Fantasia Film Festival (online) this summer. Morgana is a nuanced character portrait of a conventional suburban housewife who reinvents herself as a feminist erotic film auteur and star at the age of 50. Through its fascinating protagonist "Morgana Muses", we explore diverse themes such as ageing and sexuality, the importance of community and belonging, and the power of social and personal narratives to both define and confine us. This looks like a very honest, sensitive and understanding film about sexuality in modern times. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Josie Hess & Isabel Peppard's doc Morgana, direct from...

It’s the kind of thing you could only ever expect to find in a movie: the story of a desperate housewife who, disappointed with the trajectory of her life, considers ending it all, only to find salvation in the most unexpected of places. Such is the story of “Morgana,” which takes that idea to wild (and ultimately quite satisfying) new ends, with a twist or two along the way.
Per its official synopsis, the film follows Morgana Muses who, “after 20 years as a dutiful housewife stuck in a loveless, sexless marriage … has had enough of her dreary life. Desperately lonely and starved of intimacy, she books a male escort for one last hurrah before ending it all. Her final night takes an unexpected turn when her relationship with the escort opens up a new world of personal and sexual freedom. Instead of killing herself, Morgana makes an award-winning porn film about their date,...

Andrea Demetriades in Dark Whispers- Volume 1.
Filmmaker Megan Riakos has filmed the wrap-around segment for an anthology of horror short films by female directors which she is curating with producer Leonie Marsh.
In the segment shot by Justine Kerrigan, which will top and tail the film and link to each chapter, Andrea Demetriades plays Clara, who is obsessed with her late mother’s cherished The Book of Dark Whispers.
Each weird tale sheds light on a new facet of the twisted human psyche, or not-so-human, from the horror of grief to a share-house living disaster, from existential dread to right-swiping vampires.
Comprising 11 shorts plus the wrap-around, Dark Whispers – Volume 1 showcases films by Angie Black, Briony Kidd, Isabel Peppard, Janine Hewitt, Jub Clerc, Kaitlin Tinker, Marion Pilowsky, Katrina Irawati Graham, Lucy Gouldthorpe, Madeleine Purdy and Riakos.
Each receives a licence fee and a share in a percentage of the film’s profits.

Each weird tale sheds light on a new facet of the twisted human psyche, or not-so-human, from the horror of grief to a share-house living disaster, from existential dread to right-swiping vampires.
Comprising 11 shorts plus the wrap-around, Dark Whispers – Volume 1 showcases films by Angie Black, Briony Kidd, Isabel Peppard, Janine Hewitt, Jub Clerc, Kaitlin Tinker, Marion Pilowsky, Katrina Irawati Graham, Lucy Gouldthorpe, Madeleine Purdy and Riakos.
Each receives a licence fee and a share in a percentage of the film’s profits.

Peppard and co-director Josie Hess (herself also an award-winning filmmaker) are making a documentary about Morgana, a woman who, only a few years ago, they learned had been a housewife in suburban Australia.

Peppard and Hess are working hard to bring her journey, from rural Victoria to the Bdsm clubs of...

South Korea’s Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan), Asia’s largest genre film fest, has announced 21 titles from 12 countries to be presented during the Network of Asian Fantastic Films (Naff) genre film project market.
Dubbed It Project, the market has in past years showcased films such as Arvin Chen’s Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? and Lisa Takeba’s Haruko’s Paranormal Laboratory, which have screened at festivals including Tribeca, Berlin and Rotterdam.
Naff will run July 19-22 during BiFan, which will run July 16-26. Previously known as PiFan, the fest changed its name earlier this year in belated accordance with the current system of Romanizing Korean names. Thus it now uses ‘Bucheon’ instead of ‘Puchon’ to indicate the pronunciation of the name of the satellite city of Seoul that hosts this fest.
Aside from arranging business meetings, Naff will hand out post-production awards and a total of KW66m ($59,300) in cash prizes.

While it has long been popular for the horror genre to put female performers in the spotlight in front of the camera, female directors working in the horror genre are too-often pushed to the sidelines. However, the last couple of years has seen a huge surge in the number of women directing horror movies, in a charge led by the likes of Jen & Sylvia Soska (American Mary), Helene Cattet (Amer, The Strange Colour of Your Body's Tears), Emily Hagins (Grow Up Tony Phillips, My Sucky Teen Romance) and Jennifer Lynch (Chained, Surveillance), and in the world of short films, names like Axelle Carolyn, Jovanka Vuckovic and Isabel Peppard are proving increasingly synonymous with the horror genre. And it looks like Japan is about to get...

Director Isabel Peppard stands out from the crowd. She has even garnered the attention of director Tim Burton. He spotted her in costume at the opening of his recent exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (Acmi). Peppard was there with Adam Elliot who she worked with on Mary and Max.
.I scammed my way in - that.s another story - but I made this crazy headdress out of bones, with big ribcages on the sides, specially for that exhibition. I thought at the opening there would be a lot of people dressed up but because it was exclusive there were a lot of mayors and CEOs..
During the short time Burton was in Melbourne, they were able to catch up for drinks three times. .He was really nice, really down to earth,. Peppard says of the filmmaker, whose latest stop-motion feature Frankenweenie was just released.
