Brisbane Queer Film Festival 2015
See some of the most exciting and status-quo-challenging films of today.
Overview
No, you’re not mistaken in thinking it’s not usually time for the Brisbane Queer Film Festival yet. The festival has come around a little earlier this year, and that’s not the only change. Normally, the long-running event livens up makeshift Brisbane Powerhouse screens in late March and early April, but now it runs alongside MELT, and has moved to nearby Palace Centro.
The program kicks off with 2014 Berlinale Teddy Award winner The Way He Looks, before working through a wealth of other queer-focused films. The delightful Appropriate Behaviour is a certain highlight, but wait — there’s more! Also in the 16-session schedule, Lyle plays tribute to Rosemary’s Baby, Xenia takes teens on a Greek odyssey, and Gerontophilia explores an attraction to the elderly. Then there’s The Foxy Merkins, owner of the best title since — and hailing from the director of — the cult hit Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same.
The Brisbane Queer Film Festival is one of our top six picks of MELT Festival. See the other five here.
