2018 / Slice of Life, Drama / 100 mins / Rating: Suitable for all ages
In Japanese with English subtitles

Finding your passion in the most unexpected of places.

Noriko and Michiko are cousins about to graduate from university. Michiko is adventurous and graceful while Noriko is clumsy and shy—so when they begin tea ceremony lessons Noriko is understandably nervous. Their first lesson is difficult and their teacher is rigid, but the intricate fine details in the practice are fascinating enough for the girls to continue learning. While the lessons are only a hobby for Michiko, Noriko develops a passion for the practice and a deep connection to her teacher. Through the changing seasons of Noriko’s life, the ritual of tea ceremony becomes a safe place to meditate on the ups and downs of life.

Every Day a Good Day is an elegant, moving tale that brings the world of tea ceremony to life; based on essayist Noriko Morishita’s book of the same name.

Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story | SOLD OUT Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | Fri 20 Sep 7:00pm Event Cinemas, George St
BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-same

Australian Premiere

Inspired by the real life romance of writer-director Nikki Si’ulepa and producer Rachel Aneta Wills, Same But Different: A True New Zealand Love Story is a delightfully modern, cross-cultural romantic comedy about being your true self.

In Auckland, bumbling single mum Rachel (Robyn Paterson) meets stunning Kiwi-Samoan filmmaker Nikki (Hannah Martin) at a Māori film festival and it’s love at first sight – at least for Rachel.

True love beckons for this attractive Kiwi odd couple until a spiteful ex throws a spanner in the works, making Nikki question how serious Rachel is about their relationship.

Writer and director Nikki Si’ulepa and producer Rachel Aneta Wills are festival guests! Join us for a Q&A after the screening.

Gay Shorts | Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | Fri 20 Sep 8:30pm Event Cinemas George St. BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-gay

Laughter, romance, steamy one night encounters, and soulful feels feature in our always-popular Gay Shorts package!

This year our short films come from USA, Norway, Greece, France, The Netherlands, Brazil, and Spain.

Peter Gallagher gives an eyebrow-raising performance in the very funny ‘Stepdaddy’; while in a warehouse during a zombie apocalypse, Luke bumps into an ex who’s hellbent on taking a bite out of him, (and not in a good way) in ‘Zombie Ex.’

Mansour’s faith is tested in ‘Break Me’, and in ‘Dante vs Mohammed Ali’ two best friends must come to terms with their burgeoning feelings for one another. ‘Lavender’ is a tender, poignant look at an unconventional relationship, and ‘Crocodile’ moves your soul in less than 5 minutes.

Francisco drifts from one one night stand to the next, but knows just where the heart is in ‘Renovation’, and in ‘The Distance Between Us and Sky’, two drifters meet in the night and their undeniable electricity brings them closer together.

Our Grandmothers were full body tattooed. The marks on their skin were a visual reminder to others of their importance in the balance of traditional life in Papua New Guinea. Today our Mother’s carry no marks on their skin. The art of tattooing has travelled the world over and while its popularity has continued strongly into contemporary culture today, the awareness of the traditional practices of tattooing in Central Province,Papua New Guinea is dwindling.

Killing Patient Zero | Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | Sat 21 Sep 4:30pm Event Cinemas George St. BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-zero

Australian Premiere

This enthralling investigative documentary sets out to exonerate Gaëtan Dugas, a flight attendant from Quebec who was maligned as ‘Patient Zero’, the man who introduced the AIDS virus to North America.

Dugas was vilified for his carefree sexuality and depicted as a villain in Randy Shilts’ critically acclaimed bestseller, And the Band Played On. Killing Patient Zero dismantles the ‘Patient Zero’ theory and highlights the assistance Dugas gave to scientists struggling to understand this emerging ‘gay cancer’.

Laurie Lynd’s film offers rich historical context in its exploration of gay culture in the late 70s and early 80s, and features revealing interviews with Dugas’ friends and co-workers. A stellar array of medical experts, writers and influential queer identities also recall the early years of the AIDs crisis.

You Don’t Nomi + Showgirls | Sat 21 Sep, 6.30pm. Event Cinemas George St.TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-nomi

You Don’t Nomi celebrates the trash masterpiece that is Showgirls! Revelling in all its hilarious flaws, this doco is a must for fans of the all-time camp classic.

Canvassing everyone from film boffins and critics to drag and cabaret performers, this surprisingly thoughtful, and very, very funny, re-evaluation will make you love (and loathe) this ‘erotic tale’ even more as it delves into why Showgirls has become so beloved – for reasons probably never intended.

Then stick around as we present the film itself at 8:45pm! Yes, come with us to the Stardust Hotel and relive all the horrific dialogue, scream at the hilariously bad sex scenes, and bow down to the shambolic performance by Elizabeth Berkley in this infamous tale of a Las Vegas dancer’s rise to fame. BYO Doggie Chow.

Sydney Premiere

Single or double feature tickets available.

“…You Don’t Nomi is at turns silly, raunchy and serious and whatever your opinion on Showgirls, there has to be something to it if it inspires a film this good” – The Pop Break

Vita and Virginia | Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | Sat 21 Sep 7:00pm Event Cinemas George St. BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-vita

Elizabeth Debicki and Gemma Arterton revitalise one of the most famous love affairs of the early 20th century in Vita and Virginia, an edgy addition to the historical period genre. Based on the stage play by Eileen Atkins, this is like no period drama you have seen before!

Vita & Virginia is a filmmaker’s love letter to literature, and an homage to the fiery relationship and enduring friendship that inspired Woolf to write her queer masterpiece, Orlando.

Seahorse | Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | Sun 22 Sep 4:30pm Event Cinemas, George St BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-seahorse

Sydney Premiere

Thirty year old Freddy has long wanted to start his own family, but for him this ordinary desire comes with unique challenges. He is a gay transgender man.

In this moving and insightful documentary we follow Freddy for three years as he ceases hormone treatment so he can fall pregnant. At first he views pregnancy as a practical option, but it soon prompts an unexpected reckoning with his relationship to masculinity and gender presentation.

Against a backdrop of increasing hostility towards trans people the world over, Freddy is forced to confront his own naivety and mine unknown depths of courage as he embarks on the journey to birth his own child.

Seahorses are almost alone in the animal kingdom for giving the male of the species sole responsibility for carrying and birthing their offspring. This is the story of the dad who gave birth.

Prepare to be whisked away deep into a fantasy world as Shelby tries to woe Carol in the utterly endearing ‘Shelby’s Vacation’; Shakespeare gets turned on his head in ‘Yulia & Juliet’, the story of two young star crossed lovers.

Kyra Sedgwick directs Ali Liebegott in ‘Girls Weekend’, a story of how acceptance goes both ways, and Tracie Tomas gives an hilarious performance as one half of a couple facing a dilemma when the daughter they assumed was a lesbian is apparently dating some kid named Ryan in ‘Are We Good Parents?’

In ‘Homegirl’ Roya must decide whether she continues to push away the woman she loves, and in ‘Forget Me Not’ a series of strange coincidences causes the paths of two 70-year old women to cross.

Benjamin | Closing Night QSFF19 | Sun 22 Sep 7:00pm Event Cinemas, George St
BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-benjamin

Sydney Premiere

Instant attraction is fab – but what happens next? That’s the dilemma facing our socially awkward hero in this wry British comedy-drama.

Benjamin (Colin Morgan) is a young indie director who has just completed a new film when he falls for sweet French musician Noah (Phénix Brossard) and pursues a relationship. It’s not easy when he’s surrounded by a somewhat clueless publicist and a writing partner who may be on the verge of a breakdown.

Actor, comedian, and TV host Simon Amstell (Never Mind the Buzzcocks) writes and directs, and you just know he’s observed a few things navigating the London cool-kid circuit. This, his second feature, balances self-deprecating English wit with surprising moments of humanity and tenderness. Benjamin is a cinematic balm for these cynical times.

Static Vision is proud to present the NSW premiere of Berlinale Silver Bear winner I WAS AT HOME, BUT… (Ich war zuhause, aber…), the latest film from Angela Schanelec (The Dreamed Path, 2016) – a striking Berlin School visionary, alongside Maren Ade and Christian Petzold – one night only, exclusively at Palace Central.

After disappearing for a week, Astrid’s 13-year-old son Phillip returns home without saying a word. Both his mother and teachers suspect that his disappearance may be related to the loss of his father.

In the aftermath of Phillip’s disappearance, Astrid finds her middle-class existence and her cultural sector career challenged. At home, she finds it difficult to grant her son independence, and her ideas about art also begin to change. When Phillip is admitted to hospital with blood poisoning, Astrid is a nervous wreck, wiped out by her feelings of failure. However, Phillip and his little sister do not turn away from her. The family may be disintegrating, but it is also forming itself anew.

Throughout the film, Schanelec’s camera remains at a discrete distance, providing mother and children alike with the space and time needed to rediscover and reappraise their feelings. The film leans heavily on Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, with multiple sequences depicting school rehearsals of the play, and the purchase of a broken bicycle and other loose storylines all echoing each other.

“A cumulatively brilliant achievement which may still be talked about — and ardently debated — long after nearly all of this year’s flashier Berlinale titles have been forgotten.” – Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter

“Classically composed and gorgeously immersive, [I Was At Home, But…] is a bizarre, mystifying work that is oddly comforting despite its many puzzles.” – Jessica Kiang, Sight and Sound

“Willing audiences will be rewarded in spades with Schanelec’s signature virtues: vignettes of piercing human truth and cool, cockeyed humor; gorgeous first-chill-of-autumn atmospherics; and a seductively restful pace at which to puzzle it all out.” – Guy Lodge, Variety

Classification notice: 15+ – this film is restricted to those 15 years and older, unless accompanied by an adult.

Times: 10.30am | 1.30pm | 6.00pm

Available here: https://www.jettytheatre.com/parasite/

Winner of the Palme d’Or (Best Film award) at the Cannes Film Festival and the Sydney Film festival Official Competition – the first ever for a Korean film – this family tragicomedy is the latest masterpiece from Bong Joon-Ho, the director of The Host and Snowpiercer. PARASITE confirms his position as one of the world’s most inventive and captivating filmmakers.

Bong regular Song Kang-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer) plays Ki-taek, whose family of four is close, but hopelessly unemployed. Without prospects, they hustle as best they can to scrape up the money to survive in their subterranean apartment. Hope comes in the form of an unusual offer. The son, Ki-woo, is recommended for a very well-paid tutoring job. Though Ki-woo lacks a university degree, it turns out his sister Ki-jung is a master forger and soon, bearing a fake degree, he is being interviewed at the luxurious home of the very wealthy Park family. Ki-woo gets the job as tutor, and quickly realises that the Park family could well prove to be the solution to his family’s money problems.

With every frame beautifully composed, Parasite vividly contrasts the two families using humour, mystery and a creeping sense of tension.

YALOYALO (films)
Held for the duration of the Marama Dina exhibition, YALOYALO is a rich film program including shorts and documentaries curated by The Veiqia Project and presented in partnership with Pasifika Film Festival.

Marks of Mana
Saturday 28 September, 11am
Screening in the Performance Studio followed by a talanoa in the vale ni soqo
Free to attend, bookings are essential

Director: Lisa Taouma
Western Samoa, New Zealand | 2018 | 56 mins
Language: English with subtitles

Of all of the art of the skin in Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean), the markings for women have been given the least attention. Yet Tatau Fafine is imbued with mana and meanings which reach back through time to the very origins of Pacific tatau history.

The film looks at a number of women who are now reclaiming the art of tatau for themselves, as well as for the memories of their ancestors. The result is a celebration of the wave of female tatau artists that is now turning the tides of the male-dominated culture of Pacific tattooing.

From the two tatau goddesses who brought the art to Samoa to the practice of marking women in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Aotearoa, Lisa Taouma’s film explores these ancient symbols, their meanings and their relevance for today’s Polynesian women.

Marks of Manawon Best NZ Cinematography, and received a Special Mention in the NZ Feature category, at the Doc Edge Awards 2019.

Blue Mountains | Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 | 4-6 October | Mount Vic Flicks. BOOK TIX: bit.ly/QSFF19-MountVic

We’re bringing the best of Queer Screen Film Fest 2019 to the Blue Mountains!

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE | Fri 4 Oct 8:00pm

A tour de force 18th-century lesbian romance that celebrates the female gaze like few before it. Marianne (Noémie Merlant) has been commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel), a reluctant soon-to-be bride who refuses to sit for her portrait and must be studied in secret. An attraction swiftly develops between the two women, even as circumstances conspire to keep them apart.

GAY SHORTS | Sat 5 Oct 6:00pm

Gay Shorts brings laughter, tales of romance, steamy one night encounters, and some very deep feels. Peter Gallagher gives an an eyebrow raising performance in the very funny ‘Stepdaddy’, while Luke bumps into an ex who’s hellbent on taking a bite out of him in ‘Zombie Ex’. Mansour’s faith is tested in ‘Break Me’, and in ‘Dante vs Mohammed Ali’ two best friends must come to terms with their feelings for each other. ‘Lavender’ is a tender look at an unconventional relationship, and ‘Crocodile’ moves your soul in less than 5 minutes. Francisco drifts from one one-night-stand to the next in ‘Renovation’, and in 2019 Queer Palm winner ‘The Distance Between Us and Sky’ two drifters meet in the night.

BENJAMIN | Sat 5 Oct 8:00pm

After an initial attraction, what comes next? That’s the dilemma for our socially awkward hero Benjamin (Colin Morgan) in this wry British comedy-drama directed by Simon Amstell. He’s a young indie film director in London who falls for sweet musician Noah (Phénix Brossard) and tries to pursue a relationship – but he’ll need to do a bit of soul searching along the way.

LESBIAN SHORTS | Sun 6 Oct 4:00pm

Love at all costs, fantastical role play, and finding your truth make up this year’s Lesbian Shorts. Be whisked away into a fantasy world as Shelby tries to woe Carol in ‘Shelby’s Vacation.’ Shakespeare gets turned on his head in ‘Yulia & Juliet.’ Kyra Sedgwick directs Ali Liebegott in ‘Girls Weekend’, a story of how acceptance goes both ways, and Tracie Thoms gives an hilarious performance as one half of a couple facing a dilemma in ‘Are We Good Parents?’ In ‘Homegirl’ Roya must decide whether she continues to push away the woman she loves, and strange coincidences cause the paths of two 70-year old women to cross in ‘Forget Me Not.’

Synopsis

In the house live only women: Matilde, the matriarch, her three spinster daughters and the youngest, one adopted. Matilde is dying, which is why her two grandchildren arrive at the house, one of them with her gringa wife. In her posthumous confession to the village priest, Matilde claims to have murdered her husband, 40 years earlier, and to have “buried” him in a chest in the garage, a chest that was already occupied by the corpse of a man, unknown to her. They are just a couple of family secrets … and they are events that will cohabit the house in the course of the reunion of the present, which will add new secrets to the atavistic baggage of the family.
