A Quietly Compelling Sapphic Road Trip
Get ready for a beautifully crafted sapphic love story that proves the power of low-budget queer filmmaking. 'Vermilion', directed by the talented non-binary filmmaker Amy Trefry, takes us on an intimate 1,600-kilometer journey that captures the raw essence of summer freedom and fleeting romance.
Shot over just eight days with a minimal crew of eight, this unscripted gem feels as authentic as life itself. The film masterfully weaves together themes of freedom, van life adventures, and the bittersweet nature of summer love. It's a testament to how queer storytellers continue to find innovative ways to bring their narratives to the big screen.
This Australian Premiere showcases the romantic and quietly aching story that will resonate with anyone who's ever chased freedom on the open road, knowing full well that such magical moments can't last forever.
