For this program, the Out Takes team continued our examination of Queer Foreign Cinema by turning our attention to queer Taiwanese film ahead of the inaugural Taiwan Film Festival in Sydney.

Our guests were The Story of the Stone director Starr Wu and the Taiwan Film Festival director Benson Wu. The Story of the Stone is a lavish new film that gives a modern gay twist to one of China’s most iconic literary love stories. It screens in Sydney this weekend as part of the Taiwan Film Festival. We spoke with both guests about queer cinema in Taiwan and what it is that’s making queer Taiwanese cinema more popular now than ever.

To coincide with a nation wide initiative launched by the Adelaide Film Festival, the Out Takes crew celebrated the top, queer Australian films that #YouMustSee.

The #YouMustSee campaign calls on audiences to celebrate their favorite Australian films in support of the #MakeItAustralian campaign, which highlights the importance of a sustainable national screen industry.

Our guest was Adelaide Film Festival director, Amanda Duthie. We spoke with Duthie about the #YouMustSee campaign and the importance of autonomous and successful local films.

We looked at some of our top #YouMustSee films, as well as some queer Australian forgotten gems, which highlight the importance of local queer representation on the big screen.

It’s cold outside so you have the heater cranked up. You’re wrapped in your favorite blanket, hot chocolate in hand. There’s just one thing that you need: soul warming, light hearted, feel good cinema.

 

There’s nothing better than staying rugged up with some kitsch feel good film while the Winter winds howl outside. So for this Out Takes, we wished away our winter blues by looking at our favourite queer, feel good winter warmers: think HAIRSPRAY, THE SKELETON TWINS and THE GREATEST SHOWMAN.
