A sexy new Australian thriller from director Tony Ayres (who will introduce this screening and take your questions afterwards) follows bright-eyed twenty-something Merv (Alex Russell) being dragged back into a past he has tried so hard to hide. Merv, recently moved to Melbourne and about to marry Paula (Jessica de Gouw), is looking at a life of domestic bliss, when he is visited by an old associate from prison, Jim (Sullivan Stapleton).
Where other crime films might only play around in homoerotic subtext, Cut Snake gets down and dirty with the relationship between old prison buddies Merv and Jim.
One of the early announcements for the 2015 Queer Screen Film Festival, more info and early-bird tickets are available here.
