For this Out Takes, we highlighted two film festivals on in Melbourne this July and provided some great queer First Nations recommendations to enjoy this NAIDOC week. First up was the return of Marion Pilowsky to discuss her wonderful documentary ‘Isla’s Way’ that we first covered last year for MQFF and is now back screening as part of this year’s Melbourne Documentary Film Festival. We also revisited our interview with Rachael Antony, the director of the Bob Brown documentary ‘The Giants’ which is featured in the upcoming Environmental Accelerator Film Festival. We wrapped up this show with some recommendations for NAIDOC Week, putting the spotlight on some fabulous First Nation’s LGBTIQA+ content including ‘Bastardy’, ‘Marungka Tjalatjunu’ and more to celebrate this year’s theme – Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.
