One of the most influential of all sci-fi films - and one of the most controversial - Stanley Kubrick's 2001 is a delicate, poetic meditation on the ingenuity and folly of mankind.

In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words. Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and, after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape.

BORLFF 2025 - Christine (1983) New Farm Cinema: Sun Sept 21st, 1pm. We’re almost legally obligated at this juncture to include a John Carpenter film in each program, and none would be a better fit than Christine.

BORLFF 2025 - Death Race 2000 (1975) New Farm Cinema: Sun Sept 21st, 3:30pm. Ideologically incoherent, almost as exploitative as the exploitation that the film itself is satirising, and ultimately in service of one dad-joke-level pun, the original Death Race 2000 is exactly our kind of trash. A pioneering work in the now well-worn genre of satirical science fiction exploring the depravity of reality television, Roger Corman had no idea that the violence, brutality and callousness regard for human life he depicted would one day be outshone by the average episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

BORLFF 2025 - Drive (2011) New Farm Cinema: Sat Sept 20th, 8:30pm. In the tradition of ‘lonely men with a code’ neo-noir movies like Le Samouraï, The Driver and Ghost Dog, Nic Refn’s Drive mixes pop 80s sensibilities and 70s car movie muscle with short bursts of ultraviolence. A stylish, slick depiction of a hypermasculine fantasy that not talking much and having one cool jacket can make you the perfect man.

BORLFF 2025 - Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) New Farm Cinema: Sat Sept 20th, 6pm. It’s not often in cinema that a remake in some way exceeds or even equals the original and rest assured, this is in no way the case here. Where HB Halicki’s 1974 original is a down and dirty exercise in elbow grease and borderline guerilla film-making, the 2000 Nic Cage vehicle was shot with approximately 600 times the budget and 1000 times more studio involvement. The end result? A not particularly good movie that is more than stupid enough to fit in the canon of Two Bit Movie Club.

BORLFF 2025 - Speed Racer (2008) New Farm Cinema: Fri Sept 19th, 8:30pm Quite possibly the high watermark for an early 2000s chroma key-heavy visual aesthetic that will either come to be heavily derided or heavily imitated, the Wachowskis did their utmost to make live action as anime-esque as humanly possible with Speed Racer. The result is a visually dizzying saturation of colour and cartoon physics that stands in stark contrast with current trends towards muted tones and naturalistic lighting. It’s gaudy, it’s fun, it’s unclear if it’s entirely good or not — perfect BORLFF material.

BORLFF 2025 - Thelma & Louise (1991) New Farm Cinema: Sat Sept 20th, 1pm. Nothing offers the promise of freedom more than a car, the open road, and a gun. Thelma & Louise sees two women taking life by the wheel and setting their sights on a male-dominated world that has in parts ignored them, abused them and reduced them to objects.

BORLFF 2025 - Vanishing Point (1971) New Farm Cinema: Sat Sept 20th, 3:30pm. A hazily romantic death knell for the end of the 60s, Vanishing Point makes a compelling case that the antidote to the creeping cynicism and pessimism of the modern era is taking a lot of speed and driving a big, beautiful, stupid American muscle car across the desert. An acid western where the horse is a Dodge Charger and the cowboy is a Vietnam veteran shovelling uppers into his mouth, guided by the voice of God in the form of a local radio DJ.

BORLFF 2025 - Mad Max Fury Road Black & Chrome Edition (2015) New Farm Cinema: Sun Sept 21st, 6pm. This is the sort of thing we say all the time about a lot of movies but we mean it is this time: This is a perfect movie. One long chase sequence paced, shot and edited with perfect clarity, taking place in a world so lovingly characterised by new mutant Australian slang borne from guzzoline-worshipping, post-apocalyptic, revhead maniac irradiated bogans. This special Black and Chrome version is one step closer to Miller’s original and admittedly insane for a silent film-style dialogue-free, monochromatic Mad Max BRISBANE ONLY ROADS & LEATHER FILM FESTIVAL The world’s biggest multiple-use-acronym retrospective film festival is back for 2025 with another thematic throughline and another collection of cult, classic and trash movies.

Screening as part of N.F.C. PUNK! New Farm Cinemas: Thu 16 Oct. We begin N.F.C. PUNK! with a film that is not quite New Wave, though heavily inspired by Punk, rebelling against genre and demanding to be seen and heard!. BREAKING GLASS blends every style of the era into a wholly original and unapologetic punk anthem of late 70s London. Breaking Glass is the story of punk singer Kate and her meteoric rise to stardom. Starting out in the rock pubs of London, Kate, assisted by her manager Danny, becomes a huge star overnight. Once at the top the pressure is immense as Kate's band are squeezed out and she is left to cope alone in the spotlight. Made by writer-director Brian Gibson (What's Love Got to Do with It), with producers Davina Belling and Clive Parsons (Scum and Gregory's Girl), on location in London, Breaking Glass is one of the few mainstream films set firmly in the then-nascent punk and new wave milieu. The film captures the excitement, innovation, passion and anger that courses through the music and its surrounding culture. O'Connor's original soundtrack, produced by longtime David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, spawned five singles and reached number five on the UK Albums Chart. Supporting O'Connor and Daniels are Jonathan Pryce (Brazil) as the band's junkie saxophonist, Mark Wingett (Quadrophenia) on guitar and Jon Finch (Hitchcock's Frenzy) as the powerful music producer who takes Kate to superstardom. Stephen Goldblatt's (Outland) scope cinematography grants the film an appropriately epic quality.

Screening as part of N.F.C. PUNK! New Farm Cinemas: Fri 17 Oct. Burst City is an explosive Molotov cocktail of dystopian sci-fi, Mad Max-style biker wars against yakuza gangsters and the police, and riotous performances from members of the real-life Japanese punk bands The Stalin, The Roosters, The Rockers and INU. In a derelict industrial wasteland somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival punk bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against the construction of a nuclear powerplant, bringing them head to head with the yakuza industrialists behind the development of their turf. This extraordinary celebration of Japan's punk music scene of the early 1980s thrust Sōgo Ishii (now known by the name of Gakuryū Ishii), the underground filmmaking wunderkind behind such works as Half Human: Einstürzende Neubauten (1986), Angel Dust (1994) and Electric Dragon 80,000V (2001), to the next level and is regularly cited as an early landmark in Japanese cyberpunk cinema.

Australian Premiere. In her striking debut, marking the first Czech feature to grace Cannes competitive section in over 30 years, Zuzana Kirchnerová presents a meditation on the subtle sacrifices of motherhood in this unconventional take on the traditional road movie. Ester, played by renowned actress Anna Geislerová, is a single mother in her 40s whose time is spent looking after her disabled son David. Whilst staying with friends in Italy, tensions arise over David’s unpredictable behaviour and the two are relegated to a caravan.

Australian Premiere. Twenty-five years after Cosy Dens, Miroslav Donutil and Bolek Polívka reunite in a sharp new comedy alongside Jitka Čvančarová, Eva Leinweberová, Simona Lewandovská, Jiří Ployhar, Ondřej Bauer, Tereza Blažková, and Filip Červenka. The story centres on the clash of two completely different families—the aristocratic Cimburk-Kolovrats and the modest Nováks—brought together by their children’s planned wedding. In an effort to bring the families closer, the young couple gives each set of parents DNA tests. Their results come as a shock, revealing ties more familial than expected. A comedy of heritage, identity, and class pride shot largely on location at Sobotín Castle.

Legendary animator Jiří Trnka’s fourth feature, Old Czech Legends explores ancient Bohemian mythology in a patriotic paean to the land and human perseverance. The film is an adaptation of Alois Jirásek's anthology, Legends of Old Bohemia, an edition of which Trnka himself illustrated. It is told through six vignettes of well-known Czechoslovak fables loosely sewn together, from a princess revolt (The Maidens’ War) to a man’s duel with a wild boar (The Tale of Bijov). Old Czech Legends stands as one of Trnka’s most visionary and technically complex works: an ambitious interpretation of familiar cultural history through the fantastical medium of puppet animation. Digital restoration courtesy of the National Film Archive in Prague.

Australian Premiere. Royal squire Jiřík disobeys the King and eats a snake with magical powers. While this bestows upon him the ability to communicate with animals, it also results in a harsh punishment: a perilous voyage across land and sea to find Princess Goldenhair, the mysterious bride-to-be of the callous King. Jiřík embarks on the quest with his best friend Štěpán and loyal dog Štístko by his side, befriending numerous animals along the way. Trouble arises when one of Jiřík’s trusted companions reveals his true intentions. Based on the beloved Czechoslovak fairy tale of Princess Goldilocks, Jan Těšitel’s remake of the classic 1973 film is a spellbinding, timeless exploration of resilience and camaraderie in the face of adversity.

Australian Premiere. She has left the Czech Republic. She grew up on a small farm and now lives in New York City with her older partner, a professor of art history. She is a photographer. Marie Dvořáková’s filmic record of Marie Tomanová spans five years. A kind of documentary that is impossible to recreate in fiction, World Between Us is only partially about photographs: its focus is Marie as a real, multi-faceted human—her career evolution, her return home, her drive as an artist living abroad, her nonlinear relationship with Thomas. A profound picture of life, of memories, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and what it means to exist in a life guided by art.

A home-invasion thriller in which the genre’s threat of bloodshed is made stomach-churningly real, the film ratchets up shocks even as its executioners interrupt the action to address the audience, drawing queasy attention to the way that cinema milks pleasure from pain and stokes our appetite for atrocity.

On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.

Johanne, 17, has written a novel in which a high school student falls in love with her newly arrived French teacher, Johanna – an intimate bildungsroman of sexual awakening, budding obsession and eventual flirtation that, in the specificity of its details, appears to blur fact and fiction. Unbowed by any notion of shame, Johanne shares the story with the two most important people in her life: her single mother, Kristin, and grandmother Karin, herself a published poet. Startled by this daring work, Kristin and Karin begin to wonder if its events are real or fantasy. But as they attempt to uncover the truth, they are forced to face the lack of passion in their own lives. Winner of both the Golden Bear and FIPRESCI Prize at this year’s Berlinale – the first Norwegian film to ever claim the top honour – Dreams (Sex Love) marks the final chapter in Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex/Love/Dreams trilogy (all screening at NFQFF). Hailed for its uniquely sensitive depiction of a transformative first crush, as well as its intelligent exploration of writing, inspiration and the power of taking control of one’s own narrative, this achingly empathetic film makes for a brilliant culmination to Haugerud’s disarming cinematic triptych.

Catholic school choir practice becomes the catalyst for a teenage girl’s sexual awakening in this lush, emotionally resonant coming-of-age story. Not long after naive 16-year-old Lucia joins her Slovenian Catholic school’s all-girl choir, she’s taken under the wing of fellow alto Ana Maria, an extroverted senior student. Queen bee Ana Maria and her popular group enlighten Lucia on the essentials of girlhood that their strict religious education doesn’t cover: they try on lipstick, practise kissing and compare their experiences of puberty (although Lucia shyly admits that her own period hasn’t started yet). When the girls’ nascent desires come to a head on a weekend trip for intensive choir rehearsals, their precarious adolescent friendship is thrown off balance. Taking its title from a Sonic Youth song and taking home the Perspectives sidebar’s FIPRESCI Prize at the 2025 Berlinale, this sensual feature debut from award-winning filmmaker Urška Djukić gives us a fresh, frank feminine perspective on coming of age. Surreal imagery, verdant time-lapse photography and evocative sound design plunge us into the heady confusion of Lucia’s blossoming sexuality, inevitably entangled in Catholic guilt, social initiation rites, hormonal urges and crises of faith.

New Farm Queer Film Festival: Oct 2-12. QLD Premiere. While travelling by ferry – a popular cruising destination in more ways than one – a commitment-shy doctor has a life-changing brush with contemporary hook-up culture. Marianne (Andrea Bræin Hovig, in a Gothenburg Film Festival award-winning performance) is a urologist at an Oslo hospital, tasked with delivering prostate cancer diagnoses to male patients. Reluctant to seek out any serious relationships, she lets her friend fix her up with a date on the nearby peninsula of Nesodden, just a short ferry ride away. When she meets work colleague Tor en route and he confides that he uses the cruise as a hotspot for Grindr hook-ups, Marianne begins to wonder if a random sexual encounter of her own might be a way to bring some frisson to her life, and to distract from the spectre of death that looms over her day job. But as she and Tor each discover, nothing is ever simple in the realm of sexual intimacy. Premiering in Competition at Venice, the second part of Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex/Dreams/Love trilogy is an exploration of the differing expectations that are imposed on people of varied sexual orientations, and that individuals place upon themselves. Allowing its themes to unfold via meticulous character development – a skill Haugerud has honed over his parallel career as a novelist – Love expertly interrogates the centrality of sex to the human experience.

New Farm Queer Film Festival: Closing Night. Join us for the QLD Premiere of PLAINCLOTHES: Sun 12 October, 6pm arrivals for a 6:30pm screening. Tickets include a glass of wine/beer on arrival. In Syracuse, 1996, Lucas (Tom Blyth) is a rising undercover agent tasked with luring gay men to public toilets to arrest them for indecency. There are clear rules that he must abide by to ensure that the arrest can’t be judged as entrapment – no talking, and he can’t step into the cubicle. When he meets Andrew (Russell Tovey) on the job, he breaks the rules and falls in love. While Andrew vows that he only ever meets men once, Lucas persists in pursuing him. This increasing infatuation coincides with Lucas’s guilt over his role in persecuting gay men, many of whom are closeted and terrified of being outed. Interwoven with this budding relationship are scenes from a boisterous family dinner party at his mother’s house, where his lecherous uncle’s new girlfriend threatens to expose Lucas’s secret. In his directorial debut, Carmen Emmi has created an aesthetically striking and compelling film that draws the viewer into experiencing the world from Lucas’s perspective.

New Farm Queer Film Festival: Oct 2-12. QLD Premiere. Two Oslo co-workers – a chimneysweep and his manager – are ostensibly straight middle-aged men with wives and children. Yet, in long on-the-job conversations, they open up to one another about recent experiences that have challenged their conceptions of gender and sexuality: for one, a random first sexual encounter with a man; for the other, dreams of inhabiting the body of a woman. These experiences create ripple effects in their lives, from how each man relates to his sons to how each is understood by his wife. Premiering to acclaim at Berlin, the first entry in novelist-turned-filmmaker Dag Johan Haugerud’s Oslo trilogy (Sex/Dreams/Love) is a thoughtful, sensitive exploration of masculinity and identity. There’s no sex in Sex – just nuanced, intimate discussions in which deftly penned dialogue unpacks deep themes like support vs judgement, the fragility of our self-concepts and the place sex holds in responsibility-laden adult lives.

New Farm Queer Film Festival: Oct 2-12. QLD Premiere. This year’s Cannes Queer Palm and Best Actress winning film showcases a remarkable breakout performance in this deeply moving portrait of a French-Algerian woman attempting to reconcile her sexuality with her cultural identity. Grounded by astounding lead performances, Hafsia Herzi’s film gently navigates the internal conflict between sexuality and religion. Fatima (incredible newcomer Nadia Melliti) is at the precipice of graduating high school. She dresses and acts like “one of the boys”, but gets into a fight one day when her sexuality is challenged. The altercation triggers an emotional asthma attack for Fatima – which serendipitously leads to an unexpected meet-cute with a Korean nurse, Ji-Na (Ji-Min Park, Return to Seoul). While she dives into the dating apps, partaking in chatty drinks and steamy hook-ups, Fatima slowly falls in love with Ji-Na. But she is compelled to find a way to square this newfound love – for Ji-Na, for herself, and for dating women – with her Muslim faith.

New Farm Queer Film Festival: Opening Night. Join us for the QLD Premiere of TWINLESS: Thu 2 October, 6:30pm arrivals for a 7pm screening. Tickets include a glass of wine/beer on arrival. Dylan O’Brien and director and co-star James Sweeney shine in this queer bromance comedy about two grieving twins. An ingenious, unpredictable, and hilarious crowd favourite from Sundance. Equal parts darkly funny and melancholic, the less you know going into Sweeney’s slippery narrative the better. Roman (O’Brien, PONYBOI QFF24) returns to his hometown for the funeral of his identical twin, Rocky. Rocky was extroverted, intelligent, gay, and adored by many – Roman’s exact opposite. Untethered from his other half, Roman finds support in the form of a twin bereavement group. It’s here that he sparks an instant connection with Dennis (Sweeney), who reminds him of his late brother. A friendship for the ages, the chemistry between Dennis and Roman has an almost too familial quality to it. Unlike anything before it, this duplicitous gem will have you gagging in your seat. No spoilers!

Some search for battle, others are born into it. Academy Award-nominated, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood) and Academy Award and BAFTA winner Leonardo DiCaprio join forces for one of the most anticipated cinema events of the year with the darkly comedic action thriller, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel 'Vineland', Anderson has concocted an explosive combination of cutting black comedy, whip-smart political satire and edge-of-your-seat action blockbuster. When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunites to rescue one of their own's daughter. Anderson's bold visual style and evocative character explorations are perfectly matched by powerhouse performances from DiCaprio and the fully-loaded all-star ensemble cast, including Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Oscar and BAFTA winners Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn.

Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet, in this latest instalment of the Knives Out series, from writer/director Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Brick). Daniel Craig again stars in the lead role as Benoit Blanc, alongside a new star-studded group of potential suspects. Set in a small town and focusing on its local church, Wake Up Dead Man is packed with stars, including Josh O’Connor as a the younger cleric to Josh Brolin’s autocratic, abrasive priest, Glenn Close as his right-hand person, plus Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner (whose likeness had a memorable appearance in Glass Onion), and Mila Kunis as a local cop who is as determined as Blanc to solve this seemingly insoluble case. And there’s a murder that presents itself as an impossible crime. All that and Craig delivers perhaps his best Blanc yet.
