Remembering the Man
Recent box office success Holding the Man dramatised Timothy Conigrave’s celebrated queer memoir, telling the story of his love for high school sweetheart John Caleo at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis in Australia. Remembering the Man is the real deal; a drama/documentary in which a tight-knit circle of friends offer their memories of Tim and John, and a love that transcended violent opposition and illness. A lengthy audio interview recorded shortly before Tim’s death in 1994 allows him to narrate events in an elegiac tale that offers a timely reminder of the constant need to fight prejudice.
Also screening on Fri 24 Feb, 3.45pm
