Take Shelter With Us At MQFF

Local News, By Tim D, 18th February, 2008

It’s time for a little bit of fun in Melbourne.

We’re hosting a special Same Same Culture Club screening of the brand new film Shelter on Friday March 14 as part of the official program of the Melbourne Queer Film Festival – and you’re invited!

A favourite on the film festival circuit (it has already won the Audience Award for Best Film at the Seattle and Tampa Gay & Lesbian Film Festivals), Shelter is a powerful coming of age story about surfer Zach, his growing relationship with his best friend’s brother and his maturing journey along the way.

We’re presenting a screening of Shelter at the ACMI Cinemas as part of the official MQFF program. The Same Same Culture Club of Shelter screening starts at 8:15pm on Friday March 14, followed by drinks in the ACMI lounge after the screening to discuss and dissect the film, and meet some fellow Same Samers.

Tickets to Shelter on Friday March 14 are $16 (full), $13 (concession) or $11 (MQFF Members), and available online from the MQFF site.

Check out the trailer for Shelter below and come join the fun of the Culture Club with us!

You've definitley gotta check this out!!! Shelter is one of the best Gay films I've seen in a long time. It deals with some really tricky issues like 'famalies' in a totally non preachy way. In fact, very little about this film is obvious, as it breaks away from a lot of the usual cliches that gay films have. I'm interviewing the director next week, so stay tunes for that on Same same T X
