Join us for an evening of formative Australian queer documentary cinema as we present Witches and Faggots, Dykes and Poofters (dir. Digby Duncan, 1980, 45 mins), depicting the grassroots meetings, strategies, and organising efforts of Sydney’s lesbian and gay activists leading up to the first Mardi Gras in 1978; and, Homosexuality: A Film for Discussion (dir. Barbara Creed, 1975, 43 mins), a series of candid testimonies from homosexual men and women, capturing a diverse range of perspectives on homosexuality during a time when it was still criminalised in all Australian states and territories. These two groundbreaking Australian documentaries were critical to the primary shaping of early queer political resistance and are not just historical artefacts — they are living records of protest, and capture critical political action. Archival queer films remind us of the work that has come before and challenge us to see the present in relation to these earlier struggles.

Short introduction from esteemed scholar Barbara Creed, followed by a post-film discussion and live readings of archival materials.

Queer Visions is supported by UniSA Justice and Society and Network for Studies in Gender, Sexualities and Equity.

On Saturday 1 November 2025, the streets of Adelaide’s East End will come alive for the largest single day Pride celebration in South Australia, and you’re invited. Start your day at the Better Together Conference, where voices from across the country share ideas, stories, and visions for our future.​ Then, join thousands of proud, loud, unapologetic marchers as we flood the East End with colour, music, and solidarity. The march isn’t just a walk; it’s a statement, a celebration, and a moment you’ll never forget. ​ And when the march ends, the party begins. Poppin Out takes over the heart of the East End with beats, drag, dancing, and community joy until late. ✨ This is your day. Your march. Your celebration.

Be part of history, be part of the movement, and be proud.
