Sydney Film Festival 2019

This week on Out Takes, we celebrated the 66th Sydney Film Festival, which kicked off on June 6. For 12 thrilling days, the Sydney Film Festival will play home to over 250 films from across the globe, as well as a diverse collection of queer and LGBT leaning films.

We looked at some of the great queer flicks that you can catch at this year’s Festival with special guests Samuel Van Grinsven, the director of Sequin in a Blue Room, and Em Baker, the director of I Am No Bird.

Sequin in a Blue Room tells the story of high schooler Sequin and his search for meaning in the cold world of anonymous online dating apps. I am No Bird documents the weddings of four different couples from four corners of the globe to unpack what marriage really means to women in the modern age.
