Black Divaz is a new documentary that follows a diverse group of Indigenous drag queens as they vie for the honour of being crowned Miss First Nation.
We talk to Bridie about the cinematic history of Canberra, how Lady Bird was censored in Australia, and Noir Town - the new collaboration between Jordan Peele and Janelle Monáe. We review A Fantastic Woman and Black Divaz. In Sydney Spotlight we break down what to see at the Mardi Gras Film Festival, and what’s happening at Golden Age Cinema.
Today on Agenda, we had a chat with Black Divaz producer Michaela Perske and photographer Joseph Mayers for the Black Divas exhibition at the Bearded Tit happening from 25 January - 4 March. We also heard from Cable Ties Jenny McKechnie on the growing callout culture surrounding gender representation in Australian music festival lineups.
