Lightyear Entertainment presents the Australian production “Goldstone,” a noir thriller set in the Outback. The film was written, directed, shot, edited and composed by Ivan Sen.
Indigenous Detective Jay Swan (Aaron Pedersen, “Mystery Road”) arrives in the frontier town of Goldstone on a missing person inquiry. What seems like a simple investigation opens a web of crime, corruption, trampling of indigenous people’s land rights, and human trafficking. Jay must pull his life together and bury his differences with young local cop Josh (Alex Russell, “SWAT”), so together they can bring justice to Goldstone.
Also starring 2-time Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver (“Animal Kingdom,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) as the corrupt mayor, David Wenham (“Lord of the Rings”) as the greedy mine director, David Gulpilil (“Crocodile Dundee”) as the indigenous man who can’t be bought, and Cheng Pei-Pei (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) as the unscrupulous madam.
“Goldstone” was nominated for five Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards for Best Film, Best Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Production Design.
