MIFF 2024, Scandinavian Film Festival and ‘Strictly Soundtracks’

For this Out Takes, we were doing our best Daft Punk impression and going around the world and back again looking at the line up for two international film festivals that are back on in Melbourne this July and August and the return of a film related program to the JOY airwaves that shares a lot in common with our show. First up, we turned the spotlight on full for the program announcement for the 2024 Melbourne International Film Festival (fondly known as MIFF in these parts) and were joined by Artistic Director Al Cossar to give us the scoop on what not to miss in cinemas and online this August. Then we were off to Finland to review ‘Light Light Light’, one of the many great Nordic features on offer at this year’s Scandinavian Film Festival and hear our exclusive interview with director Inari Niemi. We finished up this jam-packed show by speaking with Dave and Henry, the wonderful team behind ‘Strictly Soundtracks’ which returned for season 2 on JOY on Sundays from 11am and promises to  deliver a broad range of genres from a wide variety of local and international artists, with a diverse selection of music from the most beloved soundtracks and scores. Definitely one to add to your weekly list of shows to enJOY via Australia’s first only LGBTIQA+ community radio station, along with Out Takes of course!
