"A TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL SCREENING! From a real life story, to book, to stage play, and now to screen, HOLDING THE MAN [dir. Neil Armfield] chronicles the lives of Australian lovers Tim and John, how their relationship blossomed in high school and continued through adulthood during the turbulent AIDS epidemic of the 80’s and 90’s. An intimate dive into youthful love, loyalty, infidelity, Australian masculinity, and the desperation to make things last.
Starring Ryan Corr and Craig Stott as Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo, HOLDING THE MAN has cemented itself in the modern Australian psyche for the new generation of queer youths trying to find their place in life." -- Staff Pick by Rian Grey, usher
