The audience were really positive with comments such as:
"F*cking amazing! Best Australian film in years!" & "Now THAT is filmmaking!"
So let's hope more film festivals to follow!
Also - a little mention you will find on the Quick Flix blog for Rev:
Perhaps the only thing that made Revelation's departure palatable was the fact that it finished off with a bang, premiering a couple of Australian features, replaying a few festival favourites, and treating the most devoted patrons with a secret screening. Stefan Popescu's Nude Study was one of the Australian films that received its premiere on Rev's final night, and was easily one of the most challenging films of the festival (no small feat I assure you). The film stars both Jackie Alixander and Victoria Moss as Sarah (yes, two actresses), a woman devastated by tragedy who heads to Canada to conduct a new art project depicting nudes (and attempt to deal with the tragedies she had faced in her childhood home). In this small Canadian town, Sarah finds herself, unintentionally leaving a trail of destruction (both emotional and physical) in her wake. Intensely disturbing, Nude Study crescendos with a flurry of horrifying sexual violence. Full credit to Popescu and his devoted actors for giving their all to such a harrowing film.
