Out Takes 2011: A Reel Queer Film Festival
This is FOF’s Middle Earth correspondent with the latest from New Zealand’s capital city:
As the rest of the civilized world strips down to its skivvies and prepares to enjoy Pride in the hot summer sun, we here Down Under are bundling up for the winter and settling in for some fabulous queer cinema.
Out Takes 2011 starts in Wellington this weekend and features films like the controversial LA Zombie (which got banned in Australia for its explicit content—if you haven’t heard about it, let’s just say “Dead guys don’t say ‘no’!”), Le Tigre: On Tour (directed by friend of FOF Kerthy Fix), and Stonewall Uprising which should be a must-see for all LGBT youths looking to learn more about our history and our ongoing struggle for equality.
I can’t be the only Kiwi lurking on this board. If you’re in the Wellington region, come and catch some shows!
