Twelve months ago, The Unconformity festival was cancelled on its opening day due to a snap three-day lockdown. Artistic Director Travis Tiddy recollects that moment in time in this article written for The Unconformity’s publishing platform, MOONLAND. moonland.theunconformity.com.au/articles/the-n…

The movies will be complemented by a selection of short films and curated content by independent artists and filmmakers, all to be announced in the lead-up to the event.
