For this Out Takes, we welcomed the return of the 2025 Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival which is now in its 32nd year in Sydney from February 13 to 27 with highlights from the program available on demand around the nation from February 28 to March 10. We caught up with Festival Director Lisa Rose to discuss this year’s program, her career highlights in the lead up to her delivering her final program as Festival Director and more.

We also delivered an encore presentation of our interviews with incredibly talented local filmmaker Demetra Giannakopoulos (who also happens to be one of our very own Out Takes crew) and the stars of her film ‘Love Rewind’, Maria Papas and Ruth Katerelos, in the lead up to two very special events celebrating the film at this year’s Midsumma Festival.
