St Kilda Film Festival with special guest AP Pobjoy, The Four Seasons s2 review and Queer All Year

For this Out Takes, we had a bumper crop of reviews and interviews as we took a look at some of the best queer films and television on offer this winter in Melbourne and via streaming too. First up was the St Kilda Film Festival, Australia’s largest and longest-running short film festival which is back on from June 4 – 14. One of the highlights in the program each year is the Pride Without Prejudice LGBTQIA+ showcase on Saturday June 13 at the Victorian Pride Centre which features a stellar lineup including laugh-out-loud comedy, moving romance, fearless sexuality and deeply personal documentary. We reviewed a selection of films on offer and also caught up again with AP Pobjoy who joined us in March to discuss their fantastic series ‘Homebodies’ and was back on Out Takes to discuss their beautiful and engaging film ‘Billie and Jesse’ which is on at this year’s St Kilda Film Festival. We then moved onto our review of ‘The Four Seasons’ whose second season is streaming now on Netflix and promises more from the long-term relationships in a group of middle-aged friends that takes them to fresh locations while continuing to explore the highs, lows, and humour of enduring friendships, and love. We finished up the program by looking at the fantastic new initiative from FOMO Cinemas that that brings a great selection of queer films chosen by queer staff for queer audiences to Melbourne’s northside. Cleverly titled ‘Queer All Year’, these monthly screenings kick off June 5 and run on the first Friday of each month and our special guest Kaley from the FOMO team gave us the lowdown on the program and more.
