Out Takes
We love celebrating local films that highlight diversity and representation and ‘My Melbourne’ is one worth celebrating. Themed around four pillars – sexuality, gender, disability, and race – the anthology film ‘My Melbourne’ features four unique stories that celebrate diverse voices and talents from four Indian filmmakers who worked with emerging creatives from underrepresented backgrounds to create a multicultural Australian film about identity and belonging based on authentic migrant experiences. We spoke with the film’s producer Mitu Bhowmick Lange and one of the lead actors Arka das about their roles in this wonderful production and the importance of sharing these stories here and around the world. We also checked in with Dr Sian Mitchell, the Festival Director for the Melbourne Women in Film Festival, on this year’s program and the festival’s mission to elevate the voices, stories and creativity of women and gender diverse people on and behind the screen.
