Holding Hands
Dir Tonnette Stanford & Katherine Wilkinson, Australia, 2009, 65 min
Craig and Shane fell victim to a brutal hate crime off Oxford Street in 2007. The image of Craig’s shattered face on the cover of the Sydney Star Observer called Sydney’s queer community to action, and as the couple lead the 2008 Mardi Gras Parade, the community was reminded of our continued struggle for safety and acceptance. The hardest 18 months in these young men’s lives are captured in this local production, interwoven with discussions on homophobic violence from Sydney’s queer community, police officers, and Lord Mayor. But at its heart, Holding Hands is Craig and Shane’s story. Amidst endless surgeries, physical and psychological recovery and planning for the future, they discover that even in the worst circumstances, we can all create positive change.
Presented in association with ACON.
The screening will be accompanied by a Q&A with the filmmakers and a forum.
