GAY24 Film Club: Program Forty

Get ready to vibe with two powerhouse flicks curated by the wildly talented Queer As Death Collective — because grief, rage, and glitter belong together. First up: BUDDIES (1985), Arthur J Bressan Jr’s iconic, heart-wrenching AIDS-era drama — raw, real, and revolutionary. Then, feast your eyes on the brand-new Australian short HARD/SOFT/STICKY/WET: A JOYOUS DEATH (2026) — a5-minute riot of Corpse Couture magic made in loving memory of Ben Byrne.

“We make art from the ashes — and throw confetti at funerals.”

All films are 18+, fully subtitled, and completely free — because queers don’t pay for community care. Post-screening chat included. Bring tissues. Bring sass. Bring your whole messy, magical self.
