Pride On Screen

Overview

Melbourne is home to an annual film festival focused on LGBTQIA+ flicks, but there's always room for another one. So, now that Pride Month is here, Cinema Nova has put together Pride On Screen, a program that showcases the great queer movies that have reached cinemas over the years — and a few must-see new queer flicks as well.

Whether you need another excuse to see Portrait of a Lady on Fire on a big screen, you fell head over heels for Call Me By Your Name when it first released or you're a fan of Australian drama 52 Tuesdays, you'll find them on the bill. Also showing: everything from A Single Man, Head On and Moonlight to My Own Private Idaho, The Birdcage and Truth or Dare. Fans of Colin Firth, Alex Dimitriades, Mahershala Ali, Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Robin Williams and Madonna, rejoice.

Pride On Screen runs between Friday, June 10–Wednesday, June 15, with different films showing at various times on different days.

From the highlights from the brand-new selection, you can make a date with Fire Island, which is inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice; get strange and meta with St Vincent and Carrie Brownstein via The Nowhere Inn; hit the rails through Russia with Compartment No 6.
