Three Sydney filmmakers, Scott Anderson, Oli Lawrance and Cath Moore are making a documentary about why hair is important to people, and how it reveals the way we feel about ourselves and reflects our ever changing identity. Like fingerprints, hair is a unique signifier of identity and personal history. Hairtales is a portrait of 12 diverse characters whose strange and at times startling connections to hair reveal long-held secrets and life-changing experiences. However, this film is as irreverent as it is intense. From mysteries of true paternity to brushes with a serial killer. From a prized corset made entirely out of dreadlocks to a hair-growth specialist convinced that bald men are accident prone. Hairtales is a series of interconnected strands where tears & trauma, hope & hilarity are all tangled up into one celebration of the human experience.
