In a world not that far-flung from present-day Brisbane: a giant obelisk has grown to protrude from the centre of King George Square. Magnificent though it may be, a great unhappiness swells within all those who dare gaze upon it …
… Try telling that to Pollo though. God knows, his husband's tried. Nothing can stop Pollo’s morbid fascination with the ancient relic - until eventually something unearthly must slide through the slow-forming cracks in Pollo’s universe to intervene.

A Small Exposition is the next major work from acclaimed Brisbane film house Black Brow. In what is readily becoming their hallmark style, stylised animation melds with an evocative score to create a piece that is both deeply-felt and thought-provoking.
Myth and fable collide with modern melancholy in this contemporary piece of urban whimsy. Though it may be a small exposition, filmmaker/ animator Pete Foley grapples with big issues with bigger heart.
A story of love and choices, truth and consequences, expectation and satisfaction – this is a new fairy tale for our time.
