If there’s one takeaway from the LGBTQ narrative films that came into the world and across our screens this year, it’s the sheer variety of the stories there are to tell.
From real-world historical biopics and inspirational sports dramas, to tender love stories and raunchy comedies, there really was something for everyone this year. Captivating characters, fearless performances and narrative tapestries that defy convention and troublesome tropes all reigned supreme. As such, here are some of the best we got.

A new movie from the director of “Weekend” starring the Hot Priest from “Fleabag” and everyone’s favorite internet boyfriend should be enough to catch the interest of anyone listening — and “All of Us Strangers” lives up to that potential and then some.

Goran Stolevski wowed critics last year with his mysterious Eastern European fable You Won’t Be Alone, so when I heard that he had completed his second film, I had to talk with him about it. Of An Age is set in the suburbs of Melbourne in 1999 and then later in 2010, and it follows young Serbian-born immigrant Kol (Elias Anton), a ballroom dancer who is due at the final of a big competition when his dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook) phones him to say that she has woken up on a beach in an unfamiliar town following a night of heavy drinking. Plans are thrown into disarray as Kol goes to find her, but it’s what happens between him and her brother Adam (Thom Green) along the way which will change the course of his whole life.

For some teenagers, growing up is all about trying to stand out and be noticed. For others, it’s all about trying to hide.
In the suburbs of Melbourne in 1999, Serbian-born Kol (Elias Anton) is getting into the costume which he plans to wear for the ballroom dancing contest final – happening that very day – when he receives a frantic phone call from his dance partner, Ebony (Hattie Hook). Having begged the money for the call from a stranger, she delivers a tale of woe about having gone off on a boat with a boy – not just any boy, because she’s not like that, you know, but one she really liked – and had a few drinks but not that many, honest – and woken up on beach in a small town which could, frankly, be just about anywhere. By the time they figure it out, getting there...

The title that saw Riz Ahmed stifle laughter, the press room crack up and Allison Williams murmur “no comment” at Oscar nominations last month hits theaters today as ShortsTV presents Oscar Nominated Short Films at circa 380 locations in 75 markets.
The program, three feature-length presentations of the five nominees for Live Action, Animated and Documentary short films, will expand to 500-600 screens by Academy Awards week. Exhibitors can play any or all of the trio. Some are splitting the doc shorts, at 160 minutes, in two. “We leave that up to theaters,” said ShortsTV founder-ceo Carter Pilcher. My Year Of Dicks is an animation entry.
ShortsTV has been releasing these theatrically for 18 years and they do pretty well, hitting 3.5 million in box office pre-Covid. That fell to 1.8 million in 2021 but Pilcher is hoping for a rebound, calling this year’s crop “absolutely some of the best and most audience-friendly films we’ve...

For fans of “Weekend,” “Before Sunrise” and other regret-tinged romances about what-might-have-beens and what-were-nots, “Of an Age” just might be the devastating cinematic kick you need — and a reason to rue the one who’ll never get away.
Its director, Goran Stolevski, made a modest splash at Sundance and in theaters last year with his directorial debut, the witchy, body-jumping folk horror tale “You Might Be Alone” for Focus Features. He reteams with the prestige distributor for “Of an Age,” which finds the director switching up genres but still laying down a throughline: The sexy Aussie-set gay romance is about bodies, after all, and the way they bend toward time and desire.
“All my films could really be called ‘You Won’t Be Alone,’” the Macedonian-born, Australian-based filmmaker told IndieWire over a recent Zoom interview. “It’s just that I’ve already used that title.” The out-gay director is charmingly self-effacing.

Focus Features was behind such memorable gay movies as Brokeback Mountain and Milk. They keep their tradition alive with a new Australian film from director Goran Stolevski. Of an Age will not match those landmark films in terms of either box office or awards glory, but it could touch audiences that seek it out. In the tradition of an earlier gay indie movie, Weekend, which unfolded over the course of just a couple of days, this new picture proves that economy can be a virtue.
The film opens strikingly with a young woman, Ebony (newcomer Hattie Hook), waking up on a beach outside Melbourne as waves crash over her. The time is 1999, so she has to find a pay phone to call for help. She reaches Kolya (Elias Anton), a fellow teenager who was supposed to compete with her in a dance contest that morning. He is dressed in a...

Writer/director Goran Stolevski dreamed up one of 2022’s most haunting films with the Sundance horror movie You Won’t Be Alone. Of an Age is his sophomore effort, which taps into a brief romance that comes with a lifetime of sentimentality. Stolevski demonstrates versatility as an artist, instilling nostalgia and heart into this deeply intimate, yet imperfect tale.

The blush of first love can be electrifying, but also wholly disorienting. There’s a way in which someone’s smile can muster up vexing emotions that feel visceral and involuntary. Writer-director Goran Stolevski’s sophomore effort, “Of an Age,” spends the bulk of its runtime capturing such a blush, and then pushes audiences and characters alike to revisit it anew with the added wistfulness of hindsight. The Australian production is a warm-hearted gem, pulsating with lustful tenderness (and tender lust) as it sketches what first love can feel like, and asking whether it can ever endure.
The year is 1999. It is a sweltering summer day and Kol (Elias Anton) is freaking out. The 17-year-old is supposed to be basking in anticipation of what promises to be a fateful day at the Australian Dance finals, only a frantic call from his dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook) has set his morning into disarray.

One of the most curious cases in cinema this year was the reception of Goran Stolevski’s debut feature You Won’t Be Alone. While widely praised, even landing on a handful of best-of-the-year lists, the frustratingly turgid Malick rip-off held firm as my least favorite film of 2022––at least until a recent viewing of Jaume Collet-Serra’s career nadir. So, the emerging Macedonian director can only go up from here.
With the arrival of the new trailer for his follow-up Of An Age, it certainly looks like he has, entering the realm of more grounded drama with this story of queer romance. Led by Elias Anton, Thom Green, and Hattie Hook, the film is set in the summer of 1999 as a 17-year-old Serbian-born, Australian amateur ballroom dancer experiences an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend’s older brother.

"Will it last a moment… or a lifetime?" Focus Features has revealed an official trailer for an indie romantic drama titled Of An Age, the next film from director Goran Stolevski, who also premiered You Won't Be Alone earlier this year at Sundance. Of An Age recently premiered at the 2022 Melbourne Film Festival and will be out in US theaters in February. The film stars Elias Anton as Kol, a Serbian immigrant in Australia who enters a brief but intense gay romance with Adam (Thom Green), the brother of his ballroom dance partner Ebony (Hattie Hook). He is an ambitious young dancer who gets caught up in "an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend's older brother." Sounds spicy. It's described by the festival as "a heart-meltingly tender, quintessentially Melbourne queer coming-of-age tale that will make you swoon from beginning to end." From the looks of it, this looks...

Writer and director Goran Stolevski has had a whirlwind two years. He recently returned to Australia after shooting his third film, “Housekeeping for Beginners” in Skopje, North Macedonia to attend the world premier of his second film “Of An Age.” That took him to the Melbourne International Film Festival and before traveling on to Western Australia for CinefestOz where the film won the festival’s only recurring award, and one of the industry’s richest, worth A100,000.
The Macedonian-born, Melbourne-raised film maker broke onto the international stage earlier this year with his feature debut “You Won’t Be Alone”, a supernatural folk-horror tale about a girl who becomes a shape-shifter in a 19th century Macedonian village. The film won critical acclaim at Sundance and received a limited theatrical release in the U.S. through Focus Features, which also holds worldwide distribution rights.

The title is the follow-up to Stolevski’s debut, Sundance hit ‘You Won’t Be Alone’.
London-based Bankside Films has acquired Australian filmmaker Goran Stolevski’s Of An Age for worldwide sales, his second feature following buzzy Sundance premiere You Won’t Be Alone, and released a first-look image.
