Brisbane Queer Film Festival 2014
The Powerhouse is hosting some of the most entertaining LGBTIQ films from around the world.
Overview
This 15th annual Brisbane Queer Festival brings to our city a engaging, inspiring and of course, entertaining selection of LGBTIQ films from an international landscape. From documentaries, to shorts, feature lengths to sweaty romps, the line up has everything for any picture palate. If you're going to catch any though, we'd be happy to suggest a few:
Camp Beaverton: Meet the Beavertons - Meet the dwellers of Camp Beaverton’s experimental make-shift community that hosts events like clit-tail social hours and the infamous strap-on-a-thon – possibly the largest play party for women on the planet.
Monster Pies - It’s 1996 in Western Melbourne. Often picked on by the jocks for seeming “gay”, high school student Mike has felt alienated and alone for as long as he can remember.
Test – the natural fitting dance movie, with twice as much flair as Step Up, with half the cheap tricks.
Free Fall - Marc, a young police cadet with a pregnant girlfriend named Bettina, finds himself drawn to his rebellious and handsome roommate, Kay. Passion ensues.
Films aside, there'll be a Kokomo-krazy love shack beach party to open the festival. BYO bikinis, trunks and towels (there won't be any water, but there's a strict theme), and dance around with a coconut in hand, all in homage to the Beach Boys - band, and 'racey' photo.
The festival is on until April 5. Make your picks, jog along and enjoy.
