On this day in 2013 (in the great down under that is Australia), These Final Hours enjoyed its first theatrical presentation ever when it played for audiences in attendance of the Melbourne International Film Festival.

Written and directed by Zak Hilditch, this Apocalypse/Drama took a rather dark look into -- as the title suggests -- mankind's final hours inhabiting this Big Blue Marble.  It starred Jessica De Gouw (from TV's short-lived Dracula series as well as a short guest-starring stint aboard the CW's popular Arrow), Nathan Phillips (from the very good single season Syfy series Hunters), and Angourie Rice (Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home).  Here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:


"A self-obsessed young man makes his way to the party-to-end-all-parties on the last day on Earth, but ends up saving the life of a little girl searching for her father. Their relationship ultimately leads him on the path to redemption."

To the film's credit, These Final Hours enjoyed a wealth of praise by way of the awards it was nominated for and/or won from a variety of sources.

The film was nominated as the 'Best Feature' at the 2013 Adelaide Film Festival, an international event held over two weeks in October in Adelaide, South Australia.  [ Website ]
In 2015 at the Australian Film Critics Association Awards, actress Sarah Snook took home the 'Best Actress In A Supporting Role' for her work in the motion picture while Angourie Rice and Nathan Phillips had to settle for nominations alone in their respective categories of 'Best Actress' and 'Best Actor.'

In 2015 at the West Australian Screen Awards, Stuart Campbell and Nathan Stone were nominated in the category of 'Best Visual Effects.' [ Website ]
