WORLD:  WHERE QUEER AND REFUGEE STORIES INTERSECT

News & Politics, Worldwide

Refugees have been a hot topic, not just in Australia, but across the world. These stories of desperation, despair, tragedy and hope are fertile ground for storytellers and filmmakers. One Australian is bringing those themes – packed with twists and unexpected turns – to the big screen of the Melbourne International Film Festival (or MIFF).

Actor, writer and producer Benjamin Rigby’s latest short film – We’re Not Here – is screening as part of the Australian Shorts at MIFF (www.miff.com.au).

It combines politics, power, violence, fear, nudity – all in 11 powerful minutes that leaves you thinking – what would I do?
