This week on Out Takes we took the plunge and deep dived into the world of gay sporting films. We looked at IN FROM THE SIDE, PUNCH, and GOLDEN DELICIOUS – three exciting new films that in each instance, say something about what it means to be gay through the prism of the sports field. Our guest was GOLDEN DELICIOUS director Jason Karman, who joins us to talk about his new coming of age film. GOLDEN DELICIOUS screens alongside IN FROM THE SIDE and PUNCH at the Queer Screen – Mardi Gras Film Festival (MGFF) this year.

So for our first show for 2023, we celebrated our favourite queer films and TV shows from 2022 – everything from local indie period fare (think OF AN AGE) to animated fantasies (we’re looking at you TURNING RED and LIGHTYEAR) and a neo-gothic romantic road movie featuring cannibals (how could we not look at BONES AND ALL from two time Out Takes guest Luca Guadagnino). We also looked at some of the trends that made 2022 a challenging year for cinema and an exciting year for queer TV.

First up, we presented an encore of Daniel’s interview with director David Weissman who’s award winning documentary WE WERE HERE recalled the early years of the HIV/AIDS crisis in San Francisco. WE WERE HERE is a powerful testament to our collective history and an affirmation of our shared humanity. Daniel spoke in depth with David Weissman about the power of WE WERE HERE and why it continues to maintain its resonance after its premiere at Sundance in 2011. Then we revisited our interview with Yen Tan whose film 1985 was one of the best films of 2019 which examined the early AIDS crisis through a deeply personal and heartbreaking family drama set in Texas in 1985.

In the not-to-be-missed category is the powerful award winning and critically acclaimed documentary ‘Black As U R’ from US director Micheal Rice who was our very special guest for this program. This fantastic film takes you on a journey through the fault lines of race, gender, history and sexuality in America, focusing on the intersectional lives of black queer people fighting for equality within their own community. ‘Black as U R’ interweaves contemporary racial politics with an autobiographical look into director Michael Rice’s own upbringing in the American south, unearthing the queerphobia prevalent in many black communities. Michael joined us for an in-depth interview to discuss his career, the importance of representation, the power in telling our stories on our own terms plus so much more.

We also previewed some of the cinematic offerings for the 32nd MQFF with reviews of the opening and closing night films, a few of the special feature screenings plus a new Aussie queer flick to check out too.

With this film, Billy Eichner is the first openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio film that features an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast.
We kick off with revisiting our interview with Billy Eichner from May where we discussed how ‘BROS’ came to be, why he was so excited for this film to be out in the world and why queer representation on camera and behind the scenes was so important for this film.
We also featured an exclusive in-person interview with Nicholas Stoller, following the recent Melbourne premiere of BROS, to talk about his work on the film as co-writer and director plus we got the scoop on his favourite music moment in the movie too – happy to report that it involves Kylie Minogue!
We also review the film and give you multiple reasons to check it out as soon as you can (in no paritucler order – it’s funny, Luke Macfarlane, the great soundtrack, all of the celebrity cameos, the great cast, the very relatable dating scenarios, how wonderfully queer and camp it is and oh, did we mention it’s really funny?). BROS is in Aussie cinemas from October 27.

Made in collaboration with Georgie herself, this is the story of a loving family who stood strong behind their daughter, offering an undeniable case for the agency of transgender children and teenagers to make their own decisions about their gender identity. The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone premieres on Netflix from September 22 and we were honoured to have Georgie and director Maya Newell on to speak with us about their incredible film.
Next up we spoke with Lachlan Mcleod, the director of ‘Clean’, which takes us into the world of trauma cleaning and follows Sandra Pankhurst and her team of ‘trauma cleaners’: those who scrub crime scenes, suicide sites and clear out hoarders’ homes. It’s also takes a look at Sandra’s incredible life and the role that trauma and resilience played in her life and how she lived her life honestly and authentically in every way including as a transgender woman.  Clean premiered at the 2022 Melbourne International Film Festival and is in cinemas now.
Our final guest was Gus Berger, the director of ‘The Lost City of Melbourne’, which delves in to the attempted ‘modernisation’ of Melbourne in the 1950s which destroyed much of the city, including its elegant cinemas and majestic theatres.

This momentous milestone also ties in with the upcoming release of a fantastic new documentary called ‘The Lost City of Melbourne’ that premiered at the 2022 Melbourne International Film Festival. Melbourne has been an epicentre of arts and culture since the 1850s and has a long term love affair with movies and a complicated relationship with the theatres that screen them across the city. The film highlights how the attempted ‘modernisation’ of Melbourne in the 1950s destroyed much of the city, including its elegant cinemas and picture palaces, and what has survived and thrived since then.
We were joined for this program by good friend of the show and Cinema Nova CEO Kristian Connelly to discuss this incredible milestone of one of Melbourne’s favourite arthouse cinemas.

The unique creative boundaries take Charli on a creative and emotional journey like no other, pushing her to the brink of disaster as she is forced to confront mental health issues, rekindle her relationship and connect with vulnerable LGBTQ+ fans in need.
To discuss the film we were joined by Bradley Bell and Pablo Jones-Soler a.k.a Bradley & Pablo, the international creative duo who directed Charli XCX: Alone Together and who have worked on music videos and projects with Lil Nas X, Dua Lipa, Cardi B and many more plus were recently nominated for Best Director at the 2021 US Music Video Awards. We also spoke to JOY’s own Jordan Johnstone who gave his opinion on the film as a long time fan (spoiler alert, he loved it, as did we!).

So this week on Out Takes, we’re unpacking the question of who should play what and why the question of why casting has become just so controversial. Are there some roles that some actors shouldn’t play or is this just another case of the squeaky wheel?

LEARN MORE Jacqueline Bublitz is the author of ‘Before You Knew My Name’, her debut novel that came out in May of this year and has since gained critical acclaim and commercial success across the globe. She’s a proud kiwi feminist who calls Melbourne home and who’s love of New York City helps to shape this beautiful and captivating story of two women, Ruby and Alice, and their trauma, connection and our cultural obsession with dead girls. But, this is not just another novel about a dead girl. Giving a voice to the voiceless, ‘Before You Knew My Name’ doesn’t ask whodunnit. Instead, this powerful, hopeful novel asks: Who was she? And what did she leave behind?

For this program, we talked about how this passionate story teller became a published author, we looked at her creative process, explore the themes and characters in the book as well as the influences and experiences that inspire her and in turn made their way into this incredibly powerful and immersive tale.

These are films that we’ve covered on Out Takes before, but they’re films that form an important weapon in our arsenal against conversion and suppression practices. So we revisited our exclusive interviews with Joel Edgerton, the director and star of BOY ERASED, and Desiree Akhavan, the director of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST, as we explored the ways in which modern queer cinema denounces conversion practices that target the LGBTIQ community.

LEARN MORE ‘Dating Amber’ is the second feature film from the very talented London-based Irish writer / director David Freyne.
With the film now hitting cinema screens in Australia and available to watch online around the world, we were delighted to speak with David about this fantastic film and hear how this semi-autobiographical tale went from the page to the screen, how he pulled together such an incredible cast to tell it and why we still need these LGBTIQ stories more than ever in 2021.
Set in Kildare, Ireland during the mid-90s, ‘Dating Amber’ is a heartwarming and hilarious coming out and coming of age story which follows Eddie and Amber as they decide to stage a relationship to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. The closeted teenagers reluctantly agree to be each other’s beards. Eddie is keen to follow his Dad into the military, while Amber dreams of moving to the liberal hub of London. Their parallel journeys dispense with a one-size-fits-all coming-out narrative and remind us all that becoming who you are meant to be is never easy but ultimately it is the most important thing you can do in life. Oh, and having great friends to help you get there is fundamental.

It’s that time of year again! JOY 94.9 is Australia’s premiere LGBTI radio station and it needs your help. So this week on Out Takes, we’re celebrating RADIOTHON – JOY’s annual supporter drive – and the importance of keeping independent programs like OUT TAKES on the air.
This year’s RADIOTHON theme is We Are You, so we’re bringing the Out Takes family together for a very special Out Takes look at why LGBTI representation in film is so important and why seeing ourselves on the big screen matters.

We’re looking back at a number of exclusive Out Takes interviews that have highlighted the importance of queer representation, including chats with Academy Award winning director Barry Jenkins, bi-icon Desiree Akihvan and academic Ruby Rich, who coined the phrase New Queer Cinema some thirty years ago. These are Out Takes exclusives that demonstrate just how important independent voices can be.

And here’s a spoiler: they rarely are. The question... LEARN MORE To help us unpack this fraught question we’re joined by directors Ian Watson and Suzanne Guacci.

Watson is the director of UNSOUND, the tender new Australian feature that recently took out an award for best film at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival.
Guacci is the director of T11 INCOMPLETE, a compassionate romance that screened at the Mardi Gras Film Festival.
Both films explore the intersection of queer and differently abled identities in fresh and nuanced ways that challenge the relative lack of representation that has heretofore marked our screens.

LEARN MORE Film productions are in hiatus, cinemas are closed and the industry is scrambling to find a way to survive what could be a very bleak few months. But what does this mean for local productions? For cinephiles? For all of us who depend on cinema to reflect our lives back to us and to entertain us?

To help us unpack these timely and important questions we were joined by Cinema Nova CEO Kristian Connelly and local Australian film maker Sophie Hardcastle, whose new film CLOUDY RIVER is now available for streaming on SBS on Demand.
Connelly joined us to talk about the impact of COVID19 on Cinema Nova and like cinemas around Australia, while Hardcastle talked about the effect of the pandemic on local production, as well as her bold new ode to freedom, flirtation and fluidity, which may just be your next binge worthy online treat.
Thanks once again to our community radio friends at Vision Australia Radio for their support in helping Out Takes produce our weekly program during these trying times plus don’t forget to catch up on all of our podcasts (200+ and counting!) via the JOY website or on Spoitfy.

LEARN MORE Our guest was Berger himself, whose films include festival darlings such as PLAN B (2009), ABSENT (2011), TAEKWONDO (2016) and THE BLOND ONE (2019). These are films that revel in homoeroticism and subversion; films that use the gay male gaze to say something about homosocial friendship and the gay male experience.
We spoke with him about his latest film and some of it’s more controversial elements, alongside it’s use of technology and his ability once again to find the perfect cast to tell this compelling and complex tale.

MQFF kicked off on March 12 with a program set to bring... LEARN MORE But as of March 16, due to concerns about COVID-19 and the health of MQFF attendees, the Festival was offically suspended. That means no more screenings for now. So what does this mean for you and the festival? We spoke with MQFF Program Director Spiro Economopoulos to find out what the suspension of MQFF means for queer cinephiles around the State.
We also looked at some of the fabulous fare that hit MQFF screens over the past few days. Joining us on the program was Kurt David Handler, the director of SPIRAL, which screened this past Friday as part of the Festival. SPIRAL conflates horror and homophobia to render a gay spin on cult classics like GET OUT and HEREDITARY.
We also spoke with Out Takes co-host Conrad about his experience at the MQFF Opening Night Gala, which included a screening of the unmissable new doco GAY CHORUS DEEP SOUTH.

Bellott joined us to talk about his new film Tu Me Manques (I Miss You), which was selected as Bolivia’s official Academy Awards entry earlier this year.

Our next guest was Tim Spencer, writer, creator and producer of DING DONG I’M GAY, a new web series funded by Screen Australia that shines a whimsical light on the gay Sydney experience.
We also looked back at the Mardi Gras Film Festival (MGFF) in Sydney, which wraps up tonight after two weeks of fresh queer content. MGFF kicked off earlier this month with ELLIE AND ABBY (AND ELLIE’S DEAD AUNT) – a moving coming out story that pays homage to LGBT activism in Sydney.
