Tickled

MEET THE FILMMAKER: Friday December 6, 7.00pm. Join filmmaker David Farrier for a post-film Q&A.

A documentary that will cause your jaw to hit the cinema floor in shock, co-directors David Farrier and Dylan Reeve’s TICKLED will have you giggling at the world of competitive tickling, until all of a sudden things are far from funny.

A journalist and small-screen celebrity in his native New Zealand, Farrier stumbled across a competitive tickling competition on the internet. Tickled (pun completely intended) by what seemed like a fun and ridiculous concept, and completely in keeping with his work exploring bizarre subcultures, Farrier contacted the event organiser to ask for an interview. What he didn’t expect in return was the threat of a lawsuit and a tirade of homophobic abuse. Disturbed but realising that there was something sinister was at play that warranted investigation, Farrier and Reeve travel to the U.S. to discover a convoluted web of harassment that leads them to a revelation that no one saw coming.
