The Gold Coast Film Festival is coming up with a new wave of entertainment

06 Apr 2017

We may be buried down at the bottom of the globe but that certainly doesn’t mean that Australia misses out when it comes to culture. Some of the best film festivals in the world wash up on our sandy shores, however it is in our own backyard that the real magic happens. Returning to our southern neighbours, the Gold Coast Film Festival will be spreading its mammoth offering over various locations from April 19–30 – trust us when we say that this line-up is well worth a little roadtrip. more

Surrender yourself to the sleek and sexy world of Film Noir

30 Mar 2017

Global conflict is a pretty awful thing, but there’s at least one small positive we can take away from it – it makes for some pretty spectacular art. Born as the product of the Great Depression and the disillusionment of the post-war era, the genre of film noir has remained one of the most enduring in the cinematic universe. After all, what’s not to love about femme fatales, private eyes and all of the neon? From March 31 to May 21, GOMA’s Cinémathèque will take on the moody and broody classics for Film Noir, a program that celebrates the darker side of life. more

When it comes to milestones, it doesn’t get much more significant than your 18th birthday. It symbolises so many things – freedom, responsibility, independence and all new kinds of fun to be had. This year, the Brisbane Queer Film Festival celebrates all of these particular elements as it prepares to come of age, marking 18 years of bringing us the best and most diverse queer films from Australia and around the world. From March 10–19, the New Farm Cinemas will be playing host to a brilliant and bold program that pushes the boundaries – just like any freshly 18-year-old should. more

When you think about Britain, it’s not hard to paint a mental picture of the culture that comes along with it.
