Peekaboo (film)
Peekaboo is a 2011 Australian short film written and directed by Damien Power, and produced by Joe Weatherstone. The film was a finalist in the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films at the 2011 Sydney Film Festival. Synopsis. On the train home from the Easter Show, an over-tired little girl is hyped-up by a stranger, who plays a game of peekaboo with her, until her mother begins to feel disturbed by the interest he’s showing. A short time later, the girl disappears in a carpark and her desperate mother searches. A glimpse of the man  from the train fires her imagination, with devastating consequences. Reception. Tom Goodwin from the Co-Op Post wrote, "Short, direct and surprisingly brutal in its finale, Peekaboo stood head and shoulders above most of the other entries on display." Matt Riveria gave Peekaboo 4/5 stars in the 2011 Sydney Film Festival Critics Poll.
