Strange Beasts

10’ / 2023 / Australia

Directed by Darcy Prendergast

Synopsis: “Strange Beasts” is a look at the meteoric rise and fall of the Bacchus Marsh Lion Safari, as told through the eyes of Ron ‘Prenda’ Prendergast; a then 18 year old big cat keeper. From its initial boom, to its protracted closure, the park remains shrouded in mystery and folklore. Until now.
