“I still remember when I saw Picnic at Hanging Rock for the first time and how it left me with a feeling that very few films had before. There was of course the mysterious disappearance of the girls that fascinated me, and also the whole Victorian aesthetic set against the untamed and ruthless Australian wilderness, captured so masterfully in the film. All this accompanied by the haunting pan pipe music and beautiful piano melodies. I still find myself wondering from time to time what happened on that rock on Valentine’s day 1900.” – Kilian Eng
