Not So Straight is a candid and engaging exploration of contemporary issues facing same sex attracted young people in Melbourne. Issues such as social exclusion, rural isolation, sexual identity and violence are interpreted through thought-provoking commentary and bold imagery.

A compelling documentary funded by the City of Melbourne and Family Planning Victoria, Not So Straight is a snapshot of the many triumphs and hardships of a diverse group of young people who just happen to be queer. Their heartfelt personal stories and arresting insights will confront and challenge viewers to consider the true impact of heterosexism and homophobia.

Not So Straight has been written, directed and produced by award-winning documentary makers Poppy Shmith and Peter George in collaboration with members of YAK, Family Planning Victoria's support group for same sex attracted young people under 26.

There will be a Q&A in the cinema immediately following the screening with filmmakers and stars of the documentary.
