Relic has made its world premiere in the Midnight section at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and it also programmed in the Midnighters section at SXSW.

Co-writer and director of the film, Natalie, said: ‘I’ve been absolutely thrilled to be working with Stan to share Relic with Australian audiences as a Stan Original Film.’

‘Having made the film with an Aussie team in and around Melbourne, it means so much to launch on ‘home turf’ at the same time as our U.S. release.’
