Europa Europa Film Festival plus reviews, reviews, reviews!

It’s no secret that we love highlighting local film festivals and the talent behind it and for this Out Takes we were delighted to welcome back Artistic Director Spiro Economopoulos to tell us about the 2025 Europa Europa Film Festival which is returning for its 4th year in Melbourne and Sydney from February 12 to March 12. Spiro shared many of the program highlights including three queer films on offer with one being ‘Sebastian’ which we gave the full Out Takes review treatment too and agreed it is one to check out at Europa Europa and at the Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival. We also continued our reviews for this years Mardi Gras Film Festival with a look at the fabulous new documentary ‘Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story’ that is having it’s Australian premiere this February in Sydney and is a dazzling profile of an enduring gay icon and Hollywood survivor. We concluded the program with reviews of three new releases that we’ve been very much looking forward to for very different reasons – Babygirl, Maria and Companion.  We also gave you a big update about the future of Out Takes; it may come as a shock to you but this is the last time you will hear the show live on a Saturday… because we’re moving to Monday nights! We’ll still be bringing you the latest in queer film and television reviews, interviews and more but in a new time slot on JOY.94FM, DAB+ and online at 8pm on Mondays so spread the word and thanks for listening!
