IDAHOBIT DAY FILM: When 17 year-old Kol’s amateur ballroom dance partner Ebony goes missing the morning of their competition final, he turns to her older brother to find her. An impromptu road trip gives Kol plenty of time to admire the attractive, worldly Adam, as the pair form an intense and intimate bond simmering with unspoken tension.

Drawing on his experience as a gay child of migrants in Melbourne suburbia, acclaimed writer-director Goran Stolevski (You Won’t Be Alone) has imbued this story of first love with deep authenticity, where every word and touch feels seismic.
Winner of the Best Film Prize at CinefestOZ and the opening film at both Sydney and Melbourne Film Festivals, Of an Age is one of the most romantic Australian films of recent time.

This marks IDAHOBIT DAY – International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is observed on May 17 and aims to coordinate international events that raise awareness of LGBT rights violations and stimulate interest in LGBT rights work worldwide. TPH will be donating to Queerspace as part of this screeing.
