Teenage boys Naim and Ryan strike up an unexpected connection. But when their bond draws the attention of their community, a ritual is performed on them, releasing a violent entity. An entity that takes the form of its victim's truest desire.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. After attempting suicide, a young woman (Amira Casar) makes a startling proposition to the gay man (Rocco Siffredi) who rescued her: she will pay him to watch her naked body over the course of four nights as long as he provides “impartial” commentary about what he sees. Thus ensues Anatomy of Hell, one of the most controversial films of Catherine Breillat’s career—a singularly daring meditation on the pleasures and horrors of the flesh. Buoyed by the two leads’ fearless performances, Anatomy of Hell is as much a philosophical treatise on the hidden traumas of sexuality as it is an increasingly unsettling battle of the sexes, with Breillat using a hushed chamber-play setup to show the spectator no quarter throughout the transgressive proceedings. The result is like nothing else, even within the director’s audacious oeuvre: her deepest expression of anguish over the unspeakable ecstasies and degradations of the body erotic. Content Warning: ANATOMY OF HELL features depictions and discussions of subject matters that may distress some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. The beautiful final work of the late Palme d'Or winner Laurent Cantet ('The Class'), brought to the screen by his longtime collaborator Robin Campillo ('BPM'), ENZO is a tender meditation of adolescent longing, and the quiet rebellions that shape us. 16-year-old Enzo (extraordinary newcomer Eloy Pohu) has everything: a sun-drenched luxury home overlooking the Mediterranean, loving parents (Pierfrancesco Favino and Élodie Bouchez), and a future mapped toward privilege. Yet something unnameable pulls him to a different path, and he commences a masonry apprenticeship, among people who work not because they choose, but because they have to. On site he meets Vlad, a charismatic Ukrainian labourer who is facing pressure to return and fight in his country’s war against Russia. Vlad’s easy masculinity and uncertain future awaken something in the young man: he’s everything Enzo wishes he was. As their unlikely friendship deepens, Enzo will be forced to confront questions bigger than desire: about class, about duty, and about true courage. Shot through with Campillo's sensual eye and Cantet's abiding compassion for the not-yet formed and searching, this is an enormously moving portrait of a teen stumbling toward himself. ENZO’s world premiere as the Opening Film of Cannes Directors’ Fortnight was rapturously received by both audiences and critics.

Uncertain, Bethany abandons Rob’s carefully laid itinerary and seeks out old friend/flame Nel (Lena Góra), a Polish florist. The pair share an explosive past – every time they meet, a volcano erupts somewhere in the world. Shot on the fly during Brat summer and written in collaboration between director Pete Ohs and the lead cast, Erupcja has an irresistibly spontaneous energy. Amplified by the star power of Charli xcx, who brings her party-girl persona and a convincing, stripped-back naturalism to the role, it’s a relatable and chaotic study of disrupted destiny.

Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Ben Whishaw (Bright Star) and Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) star in the elegant and intimate new piece from filmmaker Ira Sachs (Passages QFF23) — a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — that is both a masterful portrait of a time & place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. QLD PREMIERE. Sandra Hüller won the Berlinale Silver Bear for this towering performance as a 17th century soldier who claims an inheritance only to have his identity brought into question. Said to be the "true and twisted tale of a deceiver of land and folk, who, defying her birth as a woman, comported herself as a man and committed many a wicked deed," what follows is far more complex. Battle-worn, 'the soldier' (Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall) turns up in a village bearing the paperwork to lay claim to an abandoned farmstead. Initially sceptical, the villagers come to respect the industrious stranger. As the soldier's influence grows, he is pressured to marry, which he does – setting in motion a series of surprising and tragic events. Director Markus Schleinzer (Angelo, Michael) tackles the material, based on historical characters, with a wry humour and an admiration for a gender non-conforming stalwart.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. QLD PREMIERE.

As old secrets emerge, including the truth about their mother's (Pamela Anderson) death, the siblings' coddled existence begins to crack. Written by Yorgos Lanthimos collaborator Efthimis Filippou (inspired by Italian classic Fists in the Pocket), with luscious cinematography by Hélène Louvart (La Chimera, Beach Rats), Rosebush Pruning is a delicious satire of privilege and patriarchy.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. In the heat and lethargy of summer, Franck (Pierre Deladonchamps) frequents a gay cruising spot on the shores of a lake. He befriends Henri (Patrick d'Assumçao), a middle-aged loner. Disinterested in each other sexually, the two men establish a platonic rapport. The arrival of aggressively pleasure-seeking Michel (Christophe Paou), however, dramatically alters the dynamic. Director Alain Guiraudie (Misericordia, QFF25) crafts a slow-burn erotic thriller which quietly ratchets up the tension as the murky moral ambiguity of its characters is revealed. An early work by cinematographer Claire Mathon (Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Spencer), this transgressive thriller remains as alluring some ten years later.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8.

By night, he embraces the sexual freedoms of the city’s underground scene—navigating a double life in public restrooms, cinemas, and cruising spots. When he meets Bernd, a sweet and steady museum worker, Frank finds himself torn between the comfort of domestic partnership and the allure of anonymous desire. Unapologetically explicit and deeply personal, Taxi zum Klo shattered taboos upon its release and remains a landmark of queer cinema. Shot with unfiltered candor and infused with a distinctively wry humor, Ripploh’s film continues to resonate for its fearless exploration of identity, intimacy, and freedom.

See it first at the 5th New Farm Queer Film Festival: July 30 - August 8. QLD PREMIERE. Kristen Stewart’s splashy Cannes-premiering directorial debut poetically adapts writer Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir. Lidia (an astonishing Imogen Poots, Green Room) only feels whole when she’s in the water. Kicking through lap after lap, she can temporarily float free of the cold, rageful father who sexually abused her and her older sister Claudia (Thora Birch, American Beauty) while their apathetic mother turned away. Out of the pool, Lidia flounders, ruining her college swimming scholarship with booze, drugs and reckless sex and lashing out contemptuously at anyone who shows her kindness. But when she joins a collaborative creative writing class led by One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest author and countercultural hero Ken Kesey (Jim Belushi), Lidia finds the same fluid escape in writing. She’s back in her lane – focused, flourishing. As an actor, Kristen Stewart (Personal Shopper) has been one of cinema’s most subtle, fascinating interpreters of interiority. Stewart invites comparisons to Terrence Malick as she tells Lidia’s story in intense, elliptical vignettes that ebb and flow on currents of memory, while Poots is as tender and fierce onscreen as she is dreamlike and sardonic in voiceover.

Late on a cold night, in an attic bedroom somewhere in America, teenage Casey (Anna Cobb, Bones & All) is Illuminated only by the cold glow of a computer monitor. With a nervous smile she repeats: I want to go to the World’s Fair I want to go to the World’s Fair I want to go to the World’s Fair This incantation signals her entry into an ominous online challenge, supposedly causing reality-altering effects on its participants. As Casey attempts to document the changesthat may or may not be happening to her, a foreboding sense of doom seeps in from her video diaries. A strange figure soon reaches out from a dark corner of the internet. Are they offering guidance or are their intentions of asinister nature? This Sundance breakout seamlessly weaves psychological horror and the peripheral digital landscape into an immersive and terrifying experience of psychological decay.
