Join MQFF Program Director, Cerise Howard in conversation with Alice Maio Mackay who, at the age of 18, has already completed four feature films – the Australian premiere of T-Blockers and the Victorian premiere of Satranic Panic are included in MQFF this year – alongside Gabriel Carrubba, the writer-director-producer of the stunning, Melbourne-set Sunflower and his fellow Sunflower producer, Zane Borg.
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas describes Mackay as a ‘one-woman horror filmmaking machine whose already impressive filmography of low-budget genre bangers barely gives us time to exhale before she is ready to throw another one at us.’ Join Mackay to learn about her two titles in this year’s program, as well as leading the way in trans horror filmmaking in Australia, and hear from Carrubba and Borg about what it takes to get a debut feature steeped in lived queer experience in suburban Melbourne off the ground and into cinemas.
Limited spaces available. Bookings essential.
