Some of AFTRS’ very own are about to have their work showcased at Queer Screen’s Mardi Gras Film Festival as part of the bumper 2020 edition.
The 27th edition will feature several works by alumni across features, shorts and the festival’s emerging filmmaker prize.
After an AACTA nomination, standing ovations, rave reviews, and most recently an appearance at Palm Springs Film Festival, Samuel Van Grinsven’s (MA, 2018) Sequin in a Blue Room continues its festival run with a hometown screening at the festival.
