REALITY BITES - SHORT DOCUMENTARIES

A program of engaging, real-life narratives in short bite-sized pieces, REALITY BITES presents the year’s very best documentary shorts. From cinema verité to essay films, to hilarious encounters with fascinating subjects to buried films and burlesque legends. At a time when truth is so often stranger than fiction, these films are not to be missed.

Through the eyes of Australia’s three leading LGTBQI+ activists, this documentary comments on the dogma and bigotry that take place in the name of religion as well as culture across oppressive countries and how it impacts the LGBTQI+ community. It aims to question the validity of purist versions of all religions and their application across the sexuality and the gender spectrum across conservative cultures.
