“Some filmmakers have the drive to tell poignant stories that deal with the most difficult topics, and the talent to match … Kern is one of them.” – Cineuropa
Flick Ford chats to Melbourne based director Sara Kern about her debut feature MOJA VESNA, a Slovenian-Australian story of 10-year-old Moja who assumes the role of keeping her grief-stricken immigrant family together. Then, Flick speaks to guest reviewer Cerise Howard about the upcoming screening series at Melbourne Cinematheque, GENRE NONCONFORMITY AND EAST SIDE STORIES: DECENTRING THE MUSICAL Pt 1, which is happening between December 7 - December 21!
This season demonstrates that the musical has flourished away from the perceived American “centre” – while still existing in dialogue with it – throughout the subsequent decades. Queer spectatorship has long been associated with the musical movie genre, yet remarkably few are marked by an explicit queerness.
