SUMMARY:MQFF Film Screenings: Drive Back Home
DESCRIPTION:BAFTA\, two-time Emmy and Tony\, and an Olivier Award actor\, writer\, presenter and producer\, Alan Cumming\, is no stranger to queer audiences. He returns to star in Michael Clowater’s Drive Back Home as the louche Pearly\, who is bailed out of a Toronto prison where he landed for the only kind of public indecency worth the risk by his estranged and cantankerous brother\, Weldon\, played by Charlie Creed-Miles (The Fifth Element\, 1997 and Harry Brown\, 2009).  \nIt’s 1970\, it’s winter\, and our siblings embark on a 1\,000-mile road trip home to New Brunswick in a truck as shaky as their relationship\, stalked by a family history of unspoken regrets and small-town porch-talk.  \nBased on the actual events of his grandfather and great uncle\, writer-director Clowater lets this hysterical and heart-warming narrative unfold at its own pace across the frozen Canadian landscape – an effort that earned the film 2024 Best Canadian Narrative Feature (Audience Choice Award) at the Calgary International Film Festival and play across the international film festival circuit.  \n“There is an undeniable\, gentle warmth to Michael Clowater’s Drive Back Home that defies the frozen Canadian winter backdrop.” – The Queer Review.  \n“Four and a half stars. Michael Clowater has fashioned a film that is both a very Canadian film and a time capsule for the entire world at the time in its treatment of the gay community.”  – In the Seats.  \nViewer Advice: contains depictions of graphic homophobic violence\, homophobia\, family violence and an attempted suicide.

SUMMARY:MQFF Film Screenings: The Legacy of Venus Xtravaganza
DESCRIPTION:MQFF’s Pride Program opens with a special event to celebrate the legacy of Venus Xtravaganza\, the global icon who rose to fame in the 1991 documentary Paris is Burning. Venus was tragically murdered before the Paris is Burning was released\, and now\, decades later\, I’m Your Venus picks up a trail gone cold as her two families—biological and ballroom—come together to honour her legacy. This moving documentary comes at time in USA history where transgender rights are digressing\, invoking the decades old USA protest cry “Voguing is not a crime! Murder is”. Here Venus’s legacy reminds us that Voguing is an act of resistance as well as an artform.  \nIN-CONVERSATION\nDecolonising Black & Brown Sites of Resistance – looking back to move forward.  \nTo celebrate Venus Xtravaganza’s legacy in connection with the new documentary I’m Your Venus\, MQFF is thrilled to announce a very special in-conversation. \nElyssia Wilson-Heti (FAFSWAG) in-conversation with Mikha Diesel (the House of DIESEL)\, and Angel Furia (mother of the House of Furia). \nHow do we as a community continue to build on our resistance movements – sit in the present\, move into the future and remember the past? Venus is an ancestor; how do we continue to honour her and dismantle the institutional frameworks of harm she navigated? How do we as recipients of cultural spaces birthed by Black and Brown\, trans and queer bodies\, how do we ensure that we don’t perpetuate harm? There is deep entanglement of all the issues the community faces and these often collide in real time – this is reflected in the documentary I’m Your Venus. \nAs one of the pioneering producers from the ballroom community in Tāmaki Makaurau Aotearoa and now retired aunty Elyssia Wilson-Heti will facilitate a conversation about how we continue to decolonise these spaces with members of the ballroom community here in Naarm. \nGather to pay tribute to Venus with this in-conversation with community. \n “I want a car. I want to be with the man I love . . . I want a nice home away from New York I want to get married in church in white . . . I want to be a professional model behind cameras. I want this. This is what I want and I’m going to go for it.” — Venus Xtravaganza\, from Paris Is Burning   \nViewer Advice: contains discussions of transphobic violence\, homophobic violence and family violence.  \nVictorian Premiere  \nI’M YOUR VENUS (2024)  \nDirector: Kimberly Reed  \nCountry: USA  \nLanguage: English  \nCommunity : Queer\, Transgender

SUMMARY:MQFF Pride Screenings: Heart of the Man
DESCRIPTION:Queer Australian First Nations filmmaking is still rare in 2024\, so this Victorian premiere of the directorial debut of Butchulla man\, David Cook\, shot in Brisbane and featuring a predominantly LGBTQIA+ and Aboriginal cast\, is cause for celebration.    \nChris Wundurra (Parker Little) is pushed by his intimidating father\, Sammy – played by writer-director David Cook – to train for the national boxing title he didn’t himself attain\, a failure connected to tragic events that robbed Chris of his mother and Sammy his wife. Sammy’s obsession with his son following this path encounters resistance\, however\, when Chris starts to question his sexuality and finds himself more oriented towards pursuing treading the boards at a local theatre than stepping into the ring.  \n

SUMMARY:MQFF Pride Screenings: The Duke of Burgundy
DESCRIPTION:Cult director Peter Strickland’s (In Fabric\, 2018) valentine to surreal ‘70s Euro-erotica turns ten this year – this calls for an anniversary viewing of quite possibly the 21st century’s most delicious sapphic screen romance!  \nIn a European village in an indeterminate year\, where all the inhabitants are well-heeled women drawn to lepidopterology (i.e.\, the study of butterflies\, per the film’s title)\, Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen\, star of Danish political TV series\, Borgen) and Evelyn (Chiara D’Anna) lead lives of ritualistic ecstasy and agony\, daily enacting routines of dominance and submission. But\, as with any sort of relationship\, things can run the risk of becoming stale…  \nWith a luscious dream-pop score from Cat’s Eyes perfectly attuned to Strickland’s trademark synaesthetic approach to cinema – note the “Perfume by Je suis Gizella” credit during the opening titles! – The Duke of Burgundy still stands\, ten years on\, as peak-sensual cinema!
