EXPLORE THE PROGRAM

Moonlit Winter

With the serene beauty of Japanese winter as a stunning backdrop, we’re warmed by the tender bonds that tie these women to one another, and the tension of two people destined to reunite. Moonlit Winter closed the Busan International Film Festival and is a slow burn joy to watch.

BOOK NOW

Cicada

Fresh from its world premiere last month, Cicada encapsulates the heat of summer in New York and the casual, but necessary nature of human relationships as together, the handsome Ben and Sam navigate a path away from their past traumas. This is an impressive debut from a filmmaker to watch.

BOOK NOW

Cocoon

Premiering at Berlinale, Cocoon, a dreamy German coming-of-age film, engulfs us in the world of 14-year-old Nora, as she drifts between the diet-conscious, boy-crazy world of her older sister, the underlying difficulty of her absent mother, and the blossoming awareness of her own sexuality.

BOOK NOW

Stage Mother

Winning audience awards left right and centre, Stage Mother stars Australia’s Jacki Weaver as a conservative Southern choir leader who, upon the death of her son, becomes the proprietor of his drag bar! Can she handle swapping hymns for showtunes? This comedy kicks off our drive-in double.

BOOK NOW

Tu Me Manques

In French you don’t say “I miss you”. You say “tu me manques” which translates to “you are missing from me”. Based on a play that started a revolution in Bolivia, Tu Me Manques is an innovative film which turns a deeply personal story into a universal call for love and acceptance.

BOOK NOW

Gossamer Folds

Coming from its World Premiere at Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival, Gossamer Folds is a heart-warming tale that moves beyond clichéd stories of gender transition, and centres a Black, trans woman, played by a Black, trans actress, Alexandra Grey, who is empowered to follow her dreams.

BOOK NOW

Proud

Director Philippe Faucon’s critically acclaimed three-part mini series chronicles three years (1981, 1999 and 2013) that were pivotal to France’s emerging LGBTIQ+ rights movement, exploring them through the multi-generational saga of one family. It’s a moving and engrossing watch.

BOOK NOW

Holy Trinity

With art design to die for and set in a colourful alternative Chicago where sex- and kink-positivity are the norm, queer dominatrix Trinity discovers she can suddenly talk to dead people. A weird and campy tongue-in-cheek comedy about embracing a life of colouring outside the lines.

BOOK NOW

Tremors

Caught between two disparate worlds, the ramifications of a single decision will send shockwaves through Pablo's life and family, in this acclaimed Guatemalan drama.
Featuring gorgeous visuals and affecting performances, this is an unwaveringly visceral film that tackles homophobia head on.

BOOK NOW

Song Lang

1980s Saigon is beautiful in this dreamy melodrama of two men finding solace in each other’s company. The two men from seemingly different walks of life – a gangster and an opera singer – meet, a friendship develops and they soon learn they have more in common than they first thought.
