Lose yourself at the ANU Film Group this week for a week of films about disappearing people (and one fish), as we chase down a hiding Nazi, go on the run with thieving magicians, get lost in the desert, search the Outback for a missing person, find a fish named Dory, and get kidnapped by a giant!

Then, in GOLDSTONE (at approx. 9:45 PM), an Indigenous detective arrives in the Outback town of Goldstone on a missing persons enquiry. What seems like a simple investigation soon unveils a web of crime that requires him to bury his differences and work with a young local cop.
