Lonesome, dir. Craig Boreham, Australia 2022, 95 min., English
In writer-director Craig Boreham’s stylish erotic gay drama, young gay cowboy Casey (Josh Lavery) flees a scandal in his small hometown for Sydney, Australia, where he loses himself in the easy sex and pervasive loneliness of the big city. When he meets Tib (Daniel Gabriel) there’s instant chemistry, not only sexually but also emotionally as both men find something they have been missing.
Tarneit, dir. John Sheedy, Australia 2022, 22 min., English
Tyrone lives with his distressed mother and her boyfriend Pommy, a lowlife who despises immigrants and homosexuals. Tyrone’s best friend Clinton, a refugee, lives with his overworked mother and older brother Shaker, who also has firm ideas about race and sex. Despite these obstacles, Tyrone and Clinton are deeply bonded. Partly because they’re both Deaf, partly through a shared sense of neglect, but mostly because they share a dream of one day escaping the harsh violence that swirls around them.
John Sheedy’s short work is the recipient of the Iris Prize Award 2022.
