Goodbye, Pink Flamingo is a three-day retrospective(*) festival running November 17-19, celebrating Sydney’s (Australia) dopest venue presented by Static Vision and Pink Flamingo Cinema, showcasing a global selection of groundbreaking queer, punk, feminist, and DIY art and film.
Featuring retrospective screenings of the work of many of our favorite directors, including Gregg Araki’s Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy: Totally F***ed Up, The Doom Generation, and Nowhere; Ken Russell’s The Devils (screened in its most complete form, for the first time in Australia); a spotlight on the work of trailblazing Australian filmmaker Margot Nash.
The festival also features the NSW premiere of emerging young Aussie genre-film genius Alice Maio Mackay‘s fourth(!) feature T BLOCKERS)go
acclaimed queer cinema historian Elizabeth Purchell, very raunchy, adults-only, gay essay film ASK ANY BUDDY;‘ The People’s Joker Vera Drew groundbreaking First Nations artist Fox Maxy, and international arthouse-scene boundary-pusher Tulapop Saenjaroen, amongst many more surprises.
it’s shaping up to be the wildest line-up they;ve assembled to date, and very likely the most OTT line-up they will assemble for quite some time as they bid a (hopefully temporary) farewell to the world’s freshest DIY cinema, a space they’ve called their Sydney home for the past five years.
