Friends of Dorothy
Photographer William Yang uses his photos to share stories of gay life in Sydney since the late 1960s. From the 80s AIDS crisis to the party scene of the 90s, this film is a must see for anyone interested in political activism, and for some may be a trip down memory lane.
Any Day Now
Starring Alan Cumming in what some are calling the performance of his career, this is the true story of a struggling drag performer in 1970s California, who is in a relationship with a closeted lawyer. When the couple take in a child with Down Syndrome who has been abandoned, they must fight a biased legal system to keep their family together.
