Dark Mofo, the Tasmanian winter festival, will feature Loris Gréaud's experimental film *Sculpt* in 2026. The film, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Rampling, is notable for its hallucinatory nature and unique viewing restriction: only one person can watch it at a time. *Sculpt* premiered at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2016, and it is estimated that only around 500 people have seen it. The artist also distributed the film to hackers for distribution on the dark web. Dark Mofo is known for showcasing Australian and international musicians and artists, with a program that includes events like the Winter Solstice Nude Swim and the Night Mass party.
