What is most remarkable about Only The Brave is Kokkinos’ refusal to paint the world of her adolescent protagonists through a nostalgic frame. As Lisa French asserts, Only The Brave lacks the romanticism of many coming-of-age films, instead providing a “rare and dark social realist insight into being young, lesbian and Greek.” Kokkinos replaces the nostalgia of the coming-of-age film with menace, drawing attention to the instability and danger of adolescence by ruminating on fires and the girls who light them.

Head On: adapted from Christos Tsiolkas’ controversial debut novel, this intense film follows an atypical day in the life of Ari, a hedonistic Greek-Australian man at odds with his own sexuality. Alex Dimitriades absolutely commands the screen & owns the role!

It’s very important to me that you all know that Miranda’s new project is being directed (at least in part) by her good friend, Ana Kokkinos, who happens to be a lesbian.
