Gay, Lesbian, Pansexual, Bisexual, Transgender Pics to Be Pitched at Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Fest Showcase in Cannes (EXCLUSIVE)
The sole LGBTIQ+ festival at the Goes to Cannes program will present three pics from Australia, one from the U.S. and one from India.
The five projects to be pitched May 18, will vie for the first €10,000 ($10,700) Goes to Cannes Award.“We set out to curate a selection that embraces a rich tapestry of stories and identities, while also giving prominence to Australian talent,” says festival director Lisa Rose about her program, which “showcases narratives spanning the spectrum of gay, lesbian, pansexual, bisexual, and transgender experience.” Shot in Marathi, the film is produced by Neeraj Churi of U.K.-based Lotus Visual Productions, with India’s Taran Tantra Telefilms, Dark Stories, in co-production with Bridge PostWorks, Moonweave and France’s Arsam International. Actor and producer Riley Nottingham of Humdrum Comedy says the darkly humorous road trip “examines how toxic masculinity develops across differing microcosms.” Two estranged brothers from opposite worlds are forced to face their own vulnerabilities, while reunited to scatter the ashes of their recently deceased mother.
