For this Out Takes, we celebrated the return of two homegrown television shows that represent the best of Aussie queer talent across the board, and we took a look at five LGBTQIA+ short films that highlight some of the best global queer cinema on offer for free this March.

First up, we welcomed back Deadloch which saw its second season transported from the cool Tasmanian climate up into the balmy Top End for a wild ride full of murder, mystery, crocodiles and that brilliant trademark comedy we loved the first time around. Not only did we get to review season 2 which is streaming now in full on Prime Video (spoiler alert – we LOVED it!), we also got to speak with the two fantastically funny and whip smart leads of the show, Madeleine Sami and Kate Box.

We also said hello and goodbye to the kids from Hartley High for the third and final season of Heartbreak High which is streaming from March 25, plus we take a look at the Five Films for Freedom online short film program from the British Council that celebrates global stories in support of LGBTQIA+ communities across the world that are available to watch online for free until March 29.
