Bedevil, stylised as beDevil, is a 1993 Australian horror film directed by Tracey Moffatt, the first feature directed by an Aboriginal Australian woman.

The film is a trilogy of surreal ghost stories. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from both her extended Aboriginal and Irish Australian families, Moffatt created a trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylised, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape.

I never have much luck with promoting on here, but it’s worth a shot.

Míyaxwe, my name is Gabz Norte and I’m a Cahuilla and Cupeño filmmaker and av archivist. I’m making a film combining my family’s Super 8 home movies from the 1970s with footage I will also be shooting on Super 8 film. This is a hybrid project for me, creating a film and also preserving and caring for my family’s films while creating an archive. Many of these films are records of reservation life and Indigenous familial experience and I strongly believe they need to be seen.

As you may imagine, this is a costly endeavor and I’m trying to raise money to make this goal happen. I talk a little more about the details in the video in the link.

Shares are greatly appreciated. Á•čama!

阿莉芙 | ALIFU, THE PRINCE/SS (2017) dir. Yu-Lin Wang Alifu, a 25 year-old trans woman, works as a hair-dresser in Taipei. Alifu struggles between her dream of getting a sex reafirming operation and her duty to return home and inherit the position of chief of the Paiwan tribe. Alifu's friend Sherry, another trans woman, is the owner of a drag queen bar. For years, she's been in love with the plumber, Wu; even though Sherry has been selflessly treating Wu with kindness, Wu only sees her as his buddy. Meanwhile, Chris, a government worker, lives a dull life. A one-time gig as a drag queen in the bar unexpectedly became his only way to relief stress. He has been performing there ever since. Chris is keeping this gig a secret from his girlfriend, Angie, who works as a piano instructor. (requested by @mynameiseosson, link in title)
