Joey's Heart

A quintet of international lesbian short films, the latest in its popular Upon Her Lips collection. These films aim to tempt you with secret desires in the brightest of days or the darkest of nights. Two schoolgirls in Iran try covering up a misdemeanour whilst a Spanish couple’s weekend retreat means navigating family dynamics. In 19th century Germany, a peasant clairvoyant has the villagers gossiping whilst in present-day New Zealand, a woman uses laughter to let go. For these emboldened women, sexuality becomes the least of their worries

Revolt She Said is a documentary film interrogating ideas of feminism from an Australian and New Zealand perspective. Featuring former Prime Minister Helen Clark, ideas from the past are considered from a contemporary lens and from a female gaze. With unflinching accounts and coming out stories from the LGBTQIA+ community, the film explores the major themes of identity, gender politics, queer identity, power, women’s roles and the conceptual boundary of what a woman is. An independent film by Louise Lever, Revolt She Said examines one of the most salient and successful social movements in history. Interviews include Alison Mau, Dr Jackie Huggins, Lizzie Marvelly, Courtney Sina Meredith, Quinn Eades, Dr Pani Farvid, Jean Taylor and Ardy Tibby.
