Goodbye, Pink Flamingo is a weekend-long film festival showcasing a global selection of groundbreaking queer, punk, feminist and DIY cinema, presented by independent film collective Static Vision in honour of our favourite underground warehouse screening space, the Pink Flamingo Cinema.
Featuring retrospective screenings of the work of many of our favourite 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); Rainer Werner Fassbinder's final film, Querelle; a spotlight on the work of underscreened Australian auteur Margot Nash (with Nash in attendance); new works from Australian wunderkind Alice Maio Mackay (also in attendance), acclaimed queer cinema historian Elizabeth Purchell, 'The People's Joker' Vera Drew, groundbreaking First Nations artist Fox Maxy, and international arthouse-scene boundary-pusher Tulapop Saenjaroen, amongst many more surprises (and the return of Tom Green's masterpiece Freddy Got Fingered to the big screen), Goodbye, Pink Flamingo brings fifteen feature films (and a handful of short works) to Static Vision's Sydney home at Pink Flamingo Cinemas (located 15 minutes by train from the Sydney CBD), November 17-19, 2023. Join independent screening collective Static Vision as we bid a (hopefully temporary) farewell to the world's freshest DIY cinema, a space we've called our Sydney home for the past five years.
