BUFF aka Brunswick Underground Film Festival and Gday May

For this Out Takes, we turned the spotlight on to another great local film festival that is taking over the Northside this month plus we revisited one of our favourite interviews from earlier this year to celebrate its inclusion in a new Aussie focused cinema celebration coming to Cinema Nova this May.
First up we took a deep dive into the Brunswick Underground Film Festival (a.k.a BUFF) with festival director Felix Hubble. When it was announced that BUFF was coming back from May 14 to 17, we knew we were in for a brilliant collection of local and international underground, independent, cult, trash and schlock films but we’re also pleased to report that there is a great selection of queer content in the mix too. Felix took us through many of the highlights in the lead up to the festival and also shared with us what makes the festival underground, Needless to say, we’re pumped for this program and looking forward to getting (into) BUFF this May!
Another highlight for this May was the recently announced G’day May program from Cinema Nova which pays tribute to Australian cinema with a selection of curated anniversary classics, new features and special events celebrating Australia’s rich movie culture. One of the highlights in the program is ‘From All Sides’ which we reviewed in January and had the pleasure of speaking to its writer and director Bina Bhattacharya at the time so we thought this was the perfect time for an encore of that chat to encourage you all to get your tickets for this limited run before they sell out.
