The Melbourne International Film Festival is back and we’re celebrating with a guest studded line up!
Our first guest was Goran Stolevski, the breakout director behind Of An Age, which screened as the opening night film for the Festival and continues to screen as part of the program. Of An Age is a tender, quintessentially Melbourne homage to queer desire. It has garnered critical acclaim and cemented Stolevski’s place as one of the most exciting up and coming directors (yes – we’re serious – Variety named him one of 10 most exciting up and coming directors in the world).
Our second guest was MIFF Program Manager, Kate Fitzpatrick, who joined us to talk about Melbourne On Film: Cinema That Defines Our City – the new anthology book published by the Festival to commemorate its 70th anniversary this year.
Finally, we were joined by local director Craig Boreham, who spokeabout his new film Lonesome, which also screens as part of the Festival. Lonesome tells the story of handsome cowboy Casey, who ventures from his rural NSW hometown to the harsh streets of Sydney to find himself. Lonesome is a sex positive exploration of our hunger for connection, and screens as part of the Festival after hitting the festival circuit around the world.
