When Max is ruthlessly slaughtered by a shadowy cult in a ritual to summon a cadre of demons, two friends – trans drag queen Aria and artist Jay – hit the road to follow a mysterious note promising answers.

Together they will slay the demons that oppose them, perform at drag gigs, make uncertain allies, and uncover a conspiracy of prejudice and self-hatred that leads closer to home than they’d ever imagined.

A bloody, demon-infested road movie about the power of claiming one’s identity and the importance of chosen family, Satranic Panic exposes the hypocrisy of the status quo with biting wit, killer drag, and incredible tits.

This authentic, independent, and unique Australian horror film was directed, co-produced, and co-written, by 18 year old trans and neurodivergent woman, shot with a predominantly queer, nonbinary, and trans cast/crew.

This screening will include an introduction from Mars Nicoli from Sheffield Hallam University and Rob Nevitt from Celluloid Screams.

Please note, this screening was due to include a Q+A with director Alice Maio Mackay, which can no longer go ahead due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologise for any disappointment caused.
