Part 4: Terra Australis Incognita

(Feature Film, Development)

Based from our short film on Torres, in 1605, a Spanish expedition led by Portuguese navigator Pedro Fernandes de Queirós set sail in search of the fabled "Great Southern Land." Among them was Luis Vaz de Torres, whose journey through the treacherous waters now known as the Torres Strait would leave a lasting mark on history. As storms scattered the fleet, Torres pressed forward, encountering Indigenous communities, claiming land, and capturing children for forced baptism in Manila.

Through historical reenactments and investigative storytelling, Torres explores the dark intersections of colonial ambition and Indigenous survival, shedding light on the overlooked origins of Australia’s name.
