This year's up-and-coming program is guaranteed to make you excited about where queer filmmaking is going. Watch as young queer filmmakers touch upon living with AIDS in today's world, see how Melbourne's first gay liberation movement inspired the youth, get a fresh take on what it means to seek comfort from an ex, or what it is like to want to be part of a drag family. This is only the beginning for these young and talented filmmakers, and for many, the first step to a long, fruitful, and most importantly, queer career. This is your chance to be among the first to support them!
Wicked Queer is proud to co-present this program with
