‘Into the Deep’ (Photo credit: Sundance Film Festival).
Australian writer-director Emma Sullivan’s true-crime documentary Into the Deep has been praised as more chilling than some of the horror movies which screened in the Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight section.
Commissioned by Netflix and produced by Denmark’s Mette Heide and Aussie Roslyn Walker, the film premiered in the world cinema documentary competition at Sundance.
Sullivan was filming Danish inventor and rocket engineer Peter Madsen for a doco on his space lab when events took a shocking turn.
On August 10 2017 he brutally murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall on his homemade submarine in the waterways outside Copenhagen. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Among the first reviews, Vanyaland’s Nick Johnston lauded the extensive and genuinely stunning footage that the documentarian filmed over the course of two years, both before the murder and in its immediate aftermath.

Peter Madsen.
Victorian writer/director Emma Sullivan’s feature documentary centred on the aftermath of the brutal murder of a Swedish journalist will premiere in the world cinema documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival.
Netflix commissioned Into the Deep from Danish producer Mette Heide, who hired Australian producer Roslyn Walker to work with her on the production. Heide produced Amanda Knox for Netflix, an account of the conviction of the American exchange student and eventual acquittal for the 2007 death of another student in Italy.
Sullivan began shadowing the Danish inventor and rocket engineer Peter Madsen in 2016 for a documentary on his workshop, the interns including physics graduates with whom he worked, and his attempt to become the first amateur astronaut in space.
The film took a shocking turn after Madsen was convicted last year of the 2017 murder of Swedish journalist Kim Wall on board his submarine UC3 Nautilus. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The decision by the AFI/Aacta to maintain seven awards for non-Australian films while combining the best TV comedy and best light entertainment series into one category has been challenged by several producers.
They question why money and resources are being poured into the Aacta International Awards in Los Angeles when the AFI/Aacta is struggling financially due to lack of sponsorship and screen industry support.
Other producers defend the International Awards as a way for the organisation to build the brand and strive to make the awards more valuable to private and government sponsors
AFI/Aacta CEO Damian Trewhella tells If it is simplistic and wrong to believe that ditching the international categories would free up more money for the Australian awards. He says the international awards subsidise the Oz awards.
Producer Anthony Buckley decries .the absurd pomposity of seven international awards. while financial constraints forced the organisation to...
