Where Are All The Queers? ♥

The Queer nightlife scene has long been where LGBTIQ+ people are free to express themselves authentically, feel accepted and meet new people, with different communities calling each venue home. After dark is when people flock to Flippy’s Queer bar for vino and trivia, the drag queens at Sircut start getting dolled up, and the hypnotic, hazy dancefloor at Miscellania comes to life. Capturing the stories of the communities built out of these spaces, Where are all the Queers? explores where Queer people in Melbourne go on a night out, and what makes these spaces so important.

In the process of making this documentary I have had the opportunity to refine my skills as a producer by learning more about funding and distribution, working with a variety of participants and understanding what it takes to create a strong impact documentary. We did have some issues along the way and we faced with the major set back of not being able to interview the owners of Flippy’s as we had hoped to. However, this process taught us so much about collaboration and problem solving as a result. I’m happy with our final project and I feel glad we can take this away at the end of semester, whether we chose to pursue the project further or not.
