If there’s one takeaway from the LGBTQ narrative films that came into the world and across our screens this year, it’s the sheer variety of the stories there are to tell.
From real-world historical biopics and inspirational sports dramas, to tender love stories and raunchy comedies, there really was something for everyone this year. Captivating characters, fearless performances and narrative tapestries that defy convention and troublesome tropes all reigned supreme. As such, here are some of the best we got.

A new movie from the director of “Weekend” starring the Hot Priest from “Fleabag” and everyone’s favorite internet boyfriend should be enough to catch the interest of anyone listening — and “All of Us Strangers” lives up to that potential and then some.

Goran Stolevski wowed critics last year with his mysterious Eastern European fable You Won’t Be Alone, so when I heard that he had completed his second film, I had to talk with him about it. Of An Age is set in the suburbs of Melbourne in 1999 and then later in 2010, and it follows young Serbian-born immigrant Kol (Elias Anton), a ballroom dancer who is due at the final of a big competition when his dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook) phones him to say that she has woken up on a beach in an unfamiliar town following a night of heavy drinking. Plans are thrown into disarray as Kol goes to find her, but it’s what happens between him and her brother Adam (Thom Green) along the way which will change the course of his whole life.

The title that saw Riz Ahmed stifle laughter, the press room crack up and Allison Williams murmur “no comment” at Oscar nominations last month hits theaters today as ShortsTV presents Oscar Nominated Short Films at circa 380 locations in 75 markets.
The program, three feature-length presentations of the five nominees for Live Action, Animated and Documentary short films, will expand to 500-600 screens by Academy Awards week. Exhibitors can play any or all of the trio. Some are splitting the doc shorts, at 160 minutes, in two. “We leave that up to theaters,” said ShortsTV founder-ceo Carter Pilcher. My Year Of Dicks is an animation entry.
ShortsTV has been releasing these theatrically for 18 years and they do pretty well, hitting 3.5 million in box office pre-Covid. That fell to 1.8 million in 2021 but Pilcher is hoping for a rebound, calling this year’s crop “absolutely some of the best and most audience-friendly films we’ve...

For fans of “Weekend,” “Before Sunrise” and other regret-tinged romances about what-might-have-beens and what-were-nots, “Of an Age” just might be the devastating cinematic kick you need — and a reason to rue the one who’ll never get away.
Its director, Goran Stolevski, made a modest splash at Sundance and in theaters last year with his directorial debut, the witchy, body-jumping folk horror tale “You Might Be Alone” for Focus Features. He reteams with the prestige distributor for “Of an Age,” which finds the director switching up genres but still laying down a throughline: The sexy Aussie-set gay romance is about bodies, after all, and the way they bend toward time and desire.
“All my films could really be called ‘You Won’t Be Alone,’” the Macedonian-born, Australian-based filmmaker told IndieWire over a recent Zoom interview. “It’s just that I’ve already used that title.” The out-gay director is charmingly self-effacing.

Focus Features was behind such memorable gay movies as Brokeback Mountain and Milk. They keep their tradition alive with a new Australian film from director Goran Stolevski. Of an Age will not match those landmark films in terms of either box office or awards glory, but it could touch audiences that seek it out. In the tradition of an earlier gay indie movie, Weekend, which unfolded over the course of just a couple of days, this new picture proves that economy can be a virtue.
The film opens strikingly with a young woman, Ebony (newcomer Hattie Hook), waking up on a beach outside Melbourne as waves crash over her. The time is 1999, so she has to find a pay phone to call for help. She reaches Kolya (Elias Anton), a fellow teenager who was supposed to compete with her in a dance contest that morning.

Writer/director Goran Stolevski dreamed up one of 2022’s most haunting films with the Sundance horror movie You Won’t Be Alone. Of an Age is his sophomore effort, which taps into a brief romance that comes with a lifetime of sentimentality. Stolevski demonstrates versatility as an artist, instilling nostalgia and heart into this deeply intimate, yet imperfect tale.

The blush of first love can be electrifying, but also wholly disorienting. There’s a way in which someone’s smile can muster up vexing emotions that feel visceral and involuntary. Writer-director Goran Stolevski’s sophomore effort, “Of an Age,” spends the bulk of its runtime capturing such a blush, and then pushes audiences and characters alike to revisit it anew with the added wistfulness of hindsight. The Australian production is a warm-hearted gem, pulsating with lustful tenderness (and tender lust) as it sketches what first love can feel like, and asking whether it can ever endure.
The year is 1999. It is a sweltering summer day and Kol (Elias Anton) is freaking out. The 17-year-old is supposed to be basking in anticipation of what promises to be a fateful day at the Australian Dance finals, only a frantic call from his dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook) has set his morning into disarray.

One of the most curious cases in cinema this year was the reception of Goran Stolevski’s debut feature You Won’t Be Alone. While widely praised, even landing on a handful of best-of-the-year lists, the frustratingly turgid Malick rip-off held firm as my least favorite film of 2022––at least until a recent viewing of Jaume Collet-Serra’s career nadir. So, the emerging Macedonian director can only go up from here.
With the arrival of the new trailer for his follow-up Of An Age, it certainly looks like he has, entering the realm of more grounded drama with this story of queer romance. Led by Elias Anton, Thom Green, and Hattie Hook, the film is set in the summer of 1999 as a 17-year-old Serbian-born, Australian amateur ballroom dancer experiences an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend’s older brother.

"Will it last a moment… or a lifetime?" Focus Features has revealed an official trailer for an indie romantic drama titled Of An Age, the next film from director Goran Stolevski, who also premiered You Won't Be Alone earlier this year at Sundance. Of An Age recently premiered at the 2022 Melbourne Film Festival and will be out in US theaters in February. The film stars Elias Anton as Kol, a Serbian immigrant in Australia who enters a brief but intense gay romance with Adam (Thom Green), the brother of his ballroom dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook). He is an ambitious young dancer who gets caught up in "an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend's older brother." Sounds spicy. It's described by the festival as "a heart-meltingly tender, quintessentially Melbourne queer coming-of-age tale that will make you swoon from beginning to end." From the looks of it, this looks...

Writer and director Goran Stolevski has had a whirlwind two years. He recently returned to Australia after shooting his third film, “Housekeeping for Beginners” in Skopje, North Macedonia to attend the world premier of his second film “Of An Age.” That took him to the Melbourne International Film Festival and before traveling on to Western Australia for CinefestOz where the film won the festival’s only recurring award, and one of the industry’s richest, worth A100,000.
The Macedonian-born, Melbourne-raised film maker broke onto the international stage earlier this year with his feature debut “You Won’t Be Alone”, a supernatural folk-horror tale about a girl who becomes a shape-shifter in a 19th century Macedonian village. The film won critical acclaim at Sundance and received a limited theatrical release in the U.S. through Focus Features, which also holds worldwide distribution rights.

NBC isn't going back to summer camp next summer. The network has cancelled their Camp TV series after one season. Co-star Nikolai Nikolaeff broke the news on Twitter, writing, "So… It was a great summer and I loved every minute of it. Sorry to all the @NBCCamp fans out there but no go on #CampSeason2 #upsetting."
Filmed in Australia with an almost all-Australian cast, Camp revolves around the mis-adventures of a group of counselors and visitors the antics of a group of campers and counselors at Little Otter Family Camp, a lakeside summer camp.
The performers include Rachel Griffiths, Thom Green, Dena Kaplan, Tim Pocock, Charles Grounds, Nikolai Nikolaeff, Lily Sullivan, Charlotte Nicdao, and Rodger Corser.
The show premiered in July to a decent 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.0 million viewers. Unfortunately, the numbers fell over the course...

The season finale of NBC's criminally underrated "Camp" ended on the perfect note.
It may not have been the perfect show -- hey, if it was airing during the fall TV season it might not have made it past three episodes before getting a cancelation -- but it did have one thing going for it, and it could be summed up in the last lines of dialogue of the season (and, let's be honest, probably the last dialogue of the series).
After all the campers and counselors had left Little Otter at the end of summer, Kip (Thom Green) got into his dad's car. "So ... how was it?" his dad asked him. "It was the best summer ever," Kip said with a smile.
Obviously, it wasn't a perfect summer -- there were pregnancy scares, violent fights, infidelity, money problems, betrayals, health issues, etc. -- but to Kip and all his Little Otter friends and co-workers,...

Summertime is an unusual time of year for television. Major networks have shunned it for decades using it to rerun their top TV shows or to burn-off less successful TV shows. But as more and more cable networks began to prove that summer runs and launches of TV shows could carve out a nice chuck of the advertising revenue, the competition during summer months began to heat up. CBS had a big summer with the Stephen King series “Under The Dome” (well, that is until the infamous CBS/Time Warner fee dispute blew up). NBC dabbled with new summer shows with “Crossing Lines” and “Camp.” ABC already cracked into the summer season a few years back with “Rookie Blue” and debuted its latest Canadian series “Motive” this summer as well. Yet while the big 5 networks were still hesitant to jump in full-throttle with new original scripted programming, the cable networks...

The NBC show Camp, with stars Rachel Griffiths and Thom Green, has been a big hit this Summer. With a bunch a attractive people running around playing Truth or Dare, how can it not be? Thom stopped by our La studio to give a little insight into what it's like being an Australian who's pretending to be American. Plus, we take s'mores to a whole new level and have a little competition with our fun guest.

NBC’s new dramedy Camp — not to be confused with USA’s reality series Summer Camp, which premieres tonight, even though the conflicting promos certainly do their best — debuted Wednesday. I love Rachel Griffiths and therefore want to love this, but I’m not quite sold, not yet. The show seemed to want to project a “freakish outdoorsy cult mentality,” but I mostly saw people sitting around fabulously lit-from-all-sides bonfires and kids interrupting their parents during somewhat juicy sex talk. (Wait, they’re at a “family camp”? What is this, Dirty Dancing? Ooh, I wish.)

“This is not going to be some coming-of-age movie,” sighs Kip (Tom Green) to his dad at the start of NBC’s new summer dramedy Camp. It might, however, turn out to be a coming-of-age TV series, at least based on a pilot filled with every trope ever associated with the fictional summer-camp genre.

"Camp" is the sort of show that gives scripted summer TV a bad name. Broad, cheap and tedious, it wouldn't have the slightest chance of cracking a major network's schedule during the regular season.
But in the summer -- or so the theory goes -- anything can draw some fans, simply because there's so little competition. Not that that line of thinking is helping ABC's "Mistresses" or NBC's "Crossing Lines." In the age of DVRs, on demand, streaming, YouTube and so many other entertainment options, the networks have more competition than they want to admit.
"This is not going to be some coming-of-age movie," nerdy lead Kip (Thom Green) announces when he's dropped off to be a counselor-in-training at Little Otter Family Camp. "This is not going to be the greatest summer of my life." Irony alert!
That wink-wink dialogue isn't actually representative of the show's snoozy earnestness. It's apparently...

Movies scary and sweet have been set in summer camps, but NBC's "Camp" looks to be the first TV drama in one. The 10-episode series premieres tonight (July 10) and unfolds over a summer.
As Mackenzie, the camp's owner, Rachel Griffiths ("Six Feet Under," "Brothers & Sisters") has had a rough time of it, with her husband leaving for a younger woman, the camp needing repairs, and her teenage son obsessing over sex in the singular way teenage boys can.
"She has a fantastic, the-glass-is-full view of life," Griffiths tells Zap2it. "And she is supercapable but not always making the right decisions, and she works from the gut."
In the pilot, counselors are filing in, the plumbing springs leaks, and a rival camp owner wants to buy her land. Mackenzie handles all far more gracefully than most.
Incidentally, this isn't one of those camps where only kids and teens roam unwashed.

Chicago – Here are a few words that adequately describe NBC’s “Camp,” a Summer series premiering this Wednesday, July 10, 2013 — “Likable,” “Amiable,” “Cute,” “Fun.” It’s not designed to challenge your dramatic expectations and delivers exactly what you’d expect it to deliver but the cast has some notable stand-outs and the whole thing has the feel of a long weekend away in the Summer — fun while it lasts if not overly memorable.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0
At its best, “Camp” is reminiscent of the best shows of ABC Family. It’s a program designed to engage both teens and adults. In fact, it’s closer to a soap opera than viewers may first expect with its counselors in training looking for some action and its camp manager who can’t figure out her own love life. Star Rachel Griffiths has become such a veteran at this kind of thing after hits like...

When Camp premieres in the Us on NBC next Wednesday at 10pm, few if any viewers will know the series set in a Us summer camp was shot in Australia with an Aussie cast.
Just how many Americans tune in, and how they respond, will be fascinating to see.
Executives from the Australian networks who saw the pilot episode at the La Screenings say the show has a flawed premise and has little or no hope of drawing an audience, at least in Australia.
Created by Liz Heldens (Friday Night Lights) and Peter Elkoff (Gossip Girl), it stars Rachel Griffiths as Mack Granger, the newly-divorced camp director/owner who is looking for a fresh start.
Rodger Corser plays Aussie Roger Shepard (all the other characters are American) who owns an upscale camp across the lake. He offers to buy her out and a love-hate relationship ensues. In the pilot there...

There's a fun new show coming to NBC this summer -- "Camp," starring Rachel Griffiths as Mackenzie Granger, the owner and director of Little Otter Family Camp, "where Mother Nature and human nature collide."
The show description from the network has us seriously excited about this summer romp:
Still reeling from her recent divorce, Mackenzie is ready for a fresh start. She is running things on her own for the first time and scrambling to keep the cash-strapped Little Otter from going under. She considers a buyout offer from Roger Shepard (Rodger Corser, "Underbelly"), the arrogant but sexy owner of the upscale camp across the lake. Despite her better judgment, their love-hate relationship quickly escalates. Meanwhile, she begins to realize that her charming but much younger handyman, Cole (Nikolai Nikolaeff, "Sea Patrol"), might be interested in more than just a professional relationship.

Since the birth of YouTube in 2005, the platform that hosts Everything, including actors, artists and comedians — has spread like wildfire, launching careers and shining a spotlight on many outstanding talents beyond that dog on the skateboard. Eight years later, rather than being a springboard for these creatives to move to TV or labels, the Internet has become another medium for them to showcase their work. The third annual Streamy Awards will honor that work this Sunday.
Chris Hardwick, comedian and host of The Talking Dead on AMC, will host the show. He is an advocate for the global, niche audiences online shows reach.

After a terrifying night of combat and loss, Lasky makes a life-or-death decision to help the Master Chief... but will it be enough to save them all from the Covenant?

The story will unfold weekly through a series of five episodes, and will lead up to the worldwide launch of Halo 4 on November 6th. So far this web-series has been quite impressive, and I can't wait for the next episode! Master Chief is also expected to make an appearance in the series at some point.

I ask Forward Unto Dawn director Stewart Hendler how he prepared to tackle the franchise and what kind of research went into his work. "I knew a lot about it already, but now I know more than any human being should." Hendler, admittedly not a huge video game guy himself, but he's no stranger to long-form web series, having helmed the Bryan Singer-produced H+. Now, he's bringing his experience to bear on the five-part story of the beginnings of the human-Covenant War which occupied much of the Halo series.
Again, he's no stranger to the Halo franchise--Hendler says he got hooked on the series during college thanks to his roommate who picked up the then-current Halo release. "So that franchise has had a special place in my heart for a long time," he tells me, explaining that the story was what got its hooks into him: "And I think...

The stinging pain of what almost was still remains in the hearts of Halo fans across the world after the untimely death of a proposed feature-length film from back in the mid 2000’s.
