UNCLE (AUS, 2024, 20min) is a short documentary about the extraordinary life of Uncle Jason Coombes (53yrs).
Weaving home from the desert sands of Far North Queensland to Victoria’s deep south-eastern Bung Yarnda country, Uncle’s story coincides with World Pride, a Referendum and a goodbye. Cinematically luscious, tonal and embracing a juxtaposition between observational storytelling with the heightened world of drag performance in extremis, UNCLE arrives at an “imaginative truth”. Offering lessons in living boldly and with self-compassion to us all, this is a film for audiences ready for an uplifting take on the healing power to self-determine one’s own path.
This film is an extension of Uncle and Alex’s advocacy for LGBTQIA+ stories.
