One of the most exciting events on Sydney’s staid cinematic calendar this year’s film festival will feature 75 screenings across five venues, including a festival first outdoor screening on the harbour.
One of the festival highlights for this year will be a screening of Out to Win on Sunday, February 28, a documentary that follows the lives of aspiring and professional queer athletes. Following the screening a panel of prominent queer Australian athletes including Ian Thorpe, Matthew Mitcham, and Sally Shipard will discuss the challenges facing LGBTIQ equality in sport.
