Podcasts about mardi gras film festival

The on demand program kicks off soon for the 2025 Mardi Gras Film Festival so we looked at two of the fabulous films on offer that will be available to... LEARN MORE The post Unusually Normal, Drive Back Home and ‘Moonlight' with Barry Jenkins appeared first on Out Takes.

The joyous and jubilant documentary Sally! - the exclamation mark is deliberate - is a delightful and educational journey through the life and history of Sally Miller Gearhart: a professor of Speech, Theatre, and Women Studies; a fantasy writer; and most known as a lesbian feminist activist who helped transform the world for women and queer people alike. If, like me, you haven't truly heard the name Sally Gearhart before, then you might know of her activist work alongside Harvey Milk, notably from a pointed interview where Sally joined Harvey to debate John Briggs about his noxious and harmful bill dubbed Proposition 6, or the 'Briggs Initiative', which, if passed, would have seen homosexuals from academic positions in public schools. This debate with Briggs is one of the pivotal points in Sally's life, which also included her appearance in notable documentaries like WORD IS OUT: Stories of Some of Our Lives in 1977 and in Barbara Hammer's short film Superdyke.What delights the most about Sally!, the documentary, is that it meets the energy, vibrancy, and advocacy of Sally, the person, and acts as a celebration of activism, queer liberation, queer culture, feminism, and so much more. It is, quite simply, a rapturous delight to watch and spend time with. The film details Sally's life, featuring in depth interviews with those she knew, loved, campaigned with, and built a community alongside. It also features some joyously funny and engaging interviews with Sally herself, recorded in the years before her passing. Sally! is more than just a history lesson, it's a reminder that in a time of great societal upheaval and distress, one of the purest forms of resistance is laughter, community, and joy. They can't take that away from you.I was fortunate enough to talk with two of the co-directors of the film, Ondine Rarey and Jörg Fockele, while they were in Sydney for the Mardi Gras Queer Screen Film Festival screening of the film. Fellow co-director and producer Deborah Craig was unable to attend, but the sense of community and energy around the film and the following discussion carries her energy forward. This interview talks about how Deborah discovered Sally, and why telling Sally's story on screen right now is so deeply important. Ondine and Jörg also talk about the importance of being able to screen a film like Sally! in the world right now, and about the importance of keeping queer activist history alive and relevant. Sally! is a delight of a film, and you can see in person at the Mardi Gras Film Festival on Saturday 15 February. This is a special community screening, where all tickets are just $12. You won't want to miss it. However, if you're unable to attend the screening in person, then Sally! is also screening on demand later in the festival.

For over twenty years, Archibald Prize-winning artist Craig Ruddy and his partner Roberto Meza Mont filmed their life together.Their friend, documentary-maker Molly Reynolds (MY NAME IS GULPILIL) spent months immersed in Roberto's footage to craft an intimate portrait of their relationship, from over 5000 pieces of footage. We then hear from local director Timothy Despina Marshall about his debut feature IN THE ROOM WHERE HE WAITS, starring Daniel Monks. Having recently premiered at the 2024 Mardi Gras Film Festival earlier this year, this fresh psychological thriller is a claustrophobic story of grief and abandonment set in the close quarters of a hotel room during lockdown.Primal Screen's third guests are the Naarm/Birrarung Ga/Makassar Sulawesi, Indonesia-based film collective, Dogmilk Films.

We kick off our second season with the delightful Thomas Wilson-White. Thomas is an award-winning Australian director and screenwriter. His debut feature film THE GREENHOUSE premiered at BFI: Flare London LGBTIQ+ Film Festival (winning the Audience Choice Award at 2021 Mardi Gras Film Festival and Best Film at The Gold Coast Film Festival). He is a graduate of the VCA and AFTRS, where he completed his Masters of Screen Arts in 2017, specialising in queer theory. Our chat with Thomas is particularly interesting as he wrote what he thought would be his debut feature screenplay and ended up creating a short film from that script (ST AUGUSTINE) in order to experiment with the protagonist and some key scenes. It's such a great example of how the short format can continue to inform your career even when you have transitioned into the world of long-form. Check out our website for all the Show Notes, as you will want to watch everything Thomas has made, we promise you!

FYRE FRAUD + FYRE, Enoch joins us in studio and Andj phones in from Dutch festival heaven. An all female Fast and the Furious, Mardi Gras Film Festival, Leaving Neverland and why the Oscars are so boring this year. We review both Fyre documentaries and call André. He's in Rotterdam with Gaspar Noe watching Vox Lux and Robert Pattinson give his cum to Juliette Binoche on a spaceship. 

We speak with Festival Director of the the 26th Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival Lisa Rose.

Daniel Monks is a writer, actor, producer and disability rights activist. He works in both film and stage. The film he wrote and starred in "Pulse" was screened at the Queerscreen's 25th Mardi Gras Film Festival. In 2017 he starred in The Real and Imagined History of The Elephant Man at the Malthouse Theatre. It was my personal favourite theatre production of 2017.

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.

Derek Dodge and Will C. Sullivan are filmmaking husbands. They specialise in making "improv" films. Their latest dramatic collaboration "The Ring Thing" is showing at Queerscreen's 25th Mardi Gras Film Festival and at Melbourne Queer Film Festival in 2018. Here we talk about filmmaking, creative and life partnerships. My favourite piece of advice is "Don't wait for someone to give you permission" if you want to make a film (or any creative pursuit).

Charlie, Daniel, Jake and Chris discuss the week's films, take a look at the Mardi Gras Film Festival as it kicks off in Sydney today, discuss whether Netflix's release of 'The Cloverfield Paradox' is game-changing or trickery, and get their nerd on as they reveal their favourite film-related books.Reviews▸ Black Panther▸ Lady Bird▸ Stronger▸ National Theatre Live: Follies▸ Beuys: Art As A Weapon▸ Eric Clapton: Life In 12 BarsTrailers▸ Solo: A Star Wars Story▸ Venom▸ I Feel PrettyNews▸ The 25th Mardi Gras Film Festival kicks off in Sydney today - and this year’s line-up is huge! Running for 15 days, it has something for everyone. For tickets and more info, head to www.queerscreen.org.au.▸ Netflix surprised everyone during the Super Bowl, by announcing the release of the latest ‘Cloverfield’ instalment… and then releasing it at the end of the game. Quality of the film aside, this is (i’m sorry for the pun) game changing, using the franchise to once again redefine the way a film is publicised. So what kind of effect will this unconventional release approach have?▸ All of us here at SWITCH are just a bunch of massive nerds, really, and that takes a surprising amount of work. In one of our recent episodes, Chris cheated in our recommendations by choosing a book rather than a film, so now it's time for a bunch of nerds to choose their favourite books about films for filmmakers or filmmaking - because why just spend hundreds of hours watching films, when you can spend thousands of hours reading about them?Stay Up-To-Datefacebook.com/maketheswitchAUtwitter.com/maketheswitchAUinstagram.com/maketheswitchAUmaketheswitchAU.tumblr.comThe hoststwitter.com/Charlie_Davidtwitter.com/DanielLammintwitter.com/JakeChattytwitter.com/ChrisCEdwardsNext week's episode▸ Reviews of 'A Fantastic Woman', 'Game Night', 'Finding Your Feet' and '2:22'For more episodeswww.SWITCHCast.com.au
