Gayby Baby + Q&A

Screenworks is pleased to present a special screening of Gayby Baby followed by a live audience Q & A with the filmmakers of this highly timely film.

The film follows the lives of four kids – Gus, Ebony, Matt and Graham – whose parents all happen to be gay. As they each wrestle with personal change, the outside world wrestles with the issue of marriage equality, and whether or not kids of same-sex families are at risk.

Told from the point of view of the kids, this understated observational style documentary is an intimate and at times humourous portrait of same-sex families and the effects of growing up ‘Gayby’.

In his all-female household, GUS strives to work out what it means to be a "man"; EBONY struggles to find her voice as a singer and a place where her gay family will be accepted; MATT questions how the God his lesbian mums worship can also damn them to hell; and GRAHAM’s desire to read and win the approval of his dads is complicated by a move to Fiji, where homosexuality is frowned upon.

Kids being raised by same-sex couples are growing in numbers worldwide. But who are these kids? What do they think about having same-sex parents?

"Brilliantly reminds us that families are defined by love, not politics."

– Malinda Wink, Good Pitch Australia

"Essential viewing for every family – same-sex, straight or otherwise.”
