so excited to finally be able to announce we're bringing new restorations of Akihiro Suzuki's groundbreaking Y2K queer pink film LOOKING FOR AN ANGEL (1999) and its tragically underseen follow-up ANGEL'S BODY TEMPERATURE (2001) to Australia for the first time.

the people's girlfriend. movies at gay24.
Akihiro Miwa is a legend. Fukasaku's Black Lizard and Black Rose Mansion are both incredible heaters, Miwa just devours every scene. Here's the scene where you get to see Miwa turn Yukio Mishima into a human statue. Best bond villain in history.
Akihiro Miwa, one of #Japan’s earliest most visible LGBTQ+ icons, singers, and film stars, has died at 91. Their best known role overseas was in 1968's Black Lizard. www.sankei.com/article/2026...
a decade or so ago I disagreed with a then-friend over some triviality of theory, and we never spoke again. my tone. some years later I heard she was sick, and before I knew it she had died, unreconciled. perhaps it would have gone wrong either way. but shows the folly of expressing ideas 🌈
In anticipation of Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA (2026), this month at GAY24 we take a step back into their underseen early filmography with their debut short and feature film: the archival documentaries THE SCHOOL IS WATCHING and A SELF-INDUCED HALLUCINATION.
Huge!! as a girl who loves to play VNs in bed, HWBM Steam Deck update means I finallyyyyy have an excuse to go back and finish it
🗣️ Hey mecha fans, space lesbians, challenge readers, and everyone else: Heaven Will Be Mine, the cult classic VN featuring powerful girls who kiss in sentient robot suits, is NOW AVAILABLE IN 4K! Also featuring - improved text display - it's steamdeck compatible - works on MacOS again
My archiving hot take is that On Our Backs should be fully available online and it's completely bullshit that it's been digitized and taken down multiple times over issues of 'contributor privacy.' It was a magazine with big circulation! There is an important archival interest in making it available

If you've ever wanted to do a trans movie night in your city, in a way it's kind of simple. Do you know a DIY venue? A punk house? A friend with a projector and someone with a backyard? A local business that would be chill with letting you set up a projector or use their tv?
SLIGHTLY YOUNGER TRANS WOMAN — "Is it AGP to say I would fuck my clone?" 1. - "I don't think you should worry about that typology stuff." 2. - [Esprit de Corps - Medium] "I would also fuck my clone." 3. - [Electrochemistry - Heroic] "I would also fuck your clone."
COMING MAY 8TH. GAY24 + TILDE in collaboration with BUFF + @muscledistribution.bsky.social bring DIVINE HAMMER and GUTTERCAT to the Coburg Drive-in Cinema. Cannot believe TILDE said yes to this frankly deranged plan, so grateful to Ro + team for helping make it happen, cannot wait.
this is the one that finally pushed me over the edge to subscribe to aftermath - incredible work
For Woke Week, I present you three blogs in one: 1. A foundational queer comic strip you might not know about 2. A tour through my past working at a lesbian feminist vegetarian restaurant in the 90s 3. Turning satirical vegetarian food into a reality, with varying degrees of success
Joan Nestle came to the GAY24 screening the other night, which is enough encouragement that I'm on the right path to propel the project for at least another couple of years
had so much fun researching and programming this month's gay24; an exploration of '90s Black lesbian shot-on-video works
velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...

@weard.moe has landed in Australia 🖤 incredibly excited to be co-presenting the Naarm screenings of Castration Movie pts I + II
uber driver is now on his third consecutive dance remix of Bella Ciao (this one is psy-trance)
we're screening the new restoration of Egyptian queer classic FANGS, an incredibly fun trashy camp horror musical. taking very liberal inspiration from rocky horror, you can feel the filmmakers pushing right up against the limits of what kinds of queer representation was permissable in 80s Egypt
I bet this guy went to parties and his friends would be like "cmon man do the face"
