There’s a good movie to be made about podcasts that traffic in unsolved mysteries where hosts rank cliffhangers and that hiccuping dramatic cadence over journalism. For half of its running time, the Australian thriller “Monolith” seems like it might be that movie.

Writer-director Alies Sluiter’s short film Ayaan took home five awards at the recent South Australian Screen Awards (Sasa), including the grand jury prize and best drama.
Produced Meng Xiong and Elspeth Trautwei, Ayaan tells the story of an escaped asylum seeker and her baby, who encounter an Aboriginal man on a rural Australian beach, and must decide whether to trust him or attempt the 400km journey to the nearest city, on foot and alone.
The film also notched Best Screenplay, as well as the awards for Best Male performance for Trevor Jamieson and Best Female Performance for Babetida Sadjo.
Ayaan was also recently recognised with Adelaide Film Festival’s short film audience award, and Sluiter won Best Direction in Student Film at the Adg Awards.
