‘Love Lies Bleeding’ and 2024 Melbourne Women in Film Festival

TV & Film

The latest film from Rose Glass stars Kristen Stewart as Lou and Katy M. O’Brian as Jackie who meet in New Mexico in 1989 and their chemistry is immediate. They fall hard for each but their intense love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family. Peter Travers from the ABC said that “it is unabashedly queer and winningly deranged” and we had a great time reviewing it plus we had an informal ‘Kristen Stewart Fan Club’ meeting at the same time!

We also spoke with Dr Sian Mitchell, the Festival Director for the Melbourne Women in Film Festival about this year’s program and the importance of the festival in advocating for a world where the voices, stories and creativity of women and gender diverse people are equally valued, recognised and celebrated on and behind the screen. It also aims to expand the vision of gender equality and diversity in the Australian screen industries and culture by creating dynamic and inclusive spaces that bring diverse practitioners and audiences together to be moved by compelling, provocative and entertaining cinema.
