About
IWD EVENT 2026 Revealed:KillJoy screeningFree event but registration required.
Revealed: KillJoy offers a unique view of family violence in Australia. The film was a finalist in the 2025 Australian Human Rights Awards.
The film tells of a Lismore mother’s death, a community's silence and a child’s journey to uncover the truth. Kathryn Joy was three months old when their father killed their mother. He served just 22 months and by age four, Kathryn was back living with him in the house he killed their mother in, with little knowledge of what happened to her.
Spanning over forty years, Revealed: KillJoy follows Kathryn from a child, into adulthood as they embark on a journey to uncover their mother’s buried story. Confronting psychological risk at every turn, Kathryn forms a relationship with their mother and builds a meaningful life as an activist.
The screening is part of a fundraising event on the day before International Women’s Day to highlight the unique difficulties encountered by young people who have had homicide in their family. It is a fundraiser for the Homicide Peer Network.
Mandy Nolan will MC the event and Kathryn Joy will introduce their film. The film will be followed by a panel (20-30 mins) which will include Kathryn Joy and producer Lisa Albert, as well as local activists and therapists involved in ending domestic violence. The panel will be facilitated by Janelle Saffin. Also, there will be an art installation kindly provided by Paulette Hayes
