EYE Screening at Sydney Film Festival
2010-05-20
EYE follows award-winning indigenous photographer, Bindi Cole, as she travels from her Melbourne home to the far north of Australia. She’s been invited by drag performer Foxxy Empire, the alter ego of Tiwi Islander Jason De Santis to document the transgender Sistergirls of his community. She plans to create 12 photographic portraits – positive, celebratory images – and soon realises she must also enlist the help of 'the mother of all Sistergirls' Crystal Love.
As Bindi struggles with the logistics of the shoot and being an outsider in a remote community, she listens to stories of the girls' lives, of family acceptance and rejection, of loneliness and the bond of sisterhood.
It's a truly fabulous film - with amazing characters in an amazing landscape.
I really hope you can make it along!
6.30pm Sat June 5th - Event Cinema 9 - Sydney Film Festival
