Out Takes Recommends with special guest Marion Pilowsky

TV & Film

With everything going on in the world, it seemed like a good time for us to make some recommendations to help bring us together and let the art of cinema and television be a tool for good in these troubling times. As this show went to air, this year’s Melbourne Queer Film Festival was in full swing and alongside a stream of historical titles throughout the program, MQFF also presents a joyous and uplifting array of new films including the fantastic Aussie documentary ‘Isla’s Way’ which was our first recommendation.

‘Isla’s Way’ focuses on the life of formidable great grandmother Isla Roberts who insists that although she’s not a lesbian, her girlfriend Susan is. In this tender, richly humorous portrait of an 87-year-old horse carriage driving champion, we learn what makes an ordinary life extraordinary. This wonderful new Aussie documentary feature is fresh from its world premiere at this year’s Adelaide Film Festival and we were delighted to have its director Marion Pilowsky on to give us the full behind the scene stories of this must-see documentary.

We then dived in to our recommendations and as always it’s a mixed bag (a film starring Annette Benning and Jodie Foster, a historical 20th century gay romance drama miniseries, Taylor Swift’s record-breaking concert film and more). Guaranteed that we have something for everyone and a couple of gems in there just waiting to be discovered.
