As part of the Geelong Pride Film Festival, join us for a special screening of “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” accompanied by a small selection of short films.

Marianne is a young painter in 18th-Century France, commissioned to do a wedding portrait of Héloïse without her knowing. Marianne disguises herself as her companion to get closer to her subject – observing by day and secretly painting at night. Intimacy and attraction grow between the two women. The portrait soon becomes a collaborative act and testament to their love.

“Superbly elegant…. gripping.” – The Guardian
