Queerty can admit that it doesn’t take much to get us excited about a movie. Often times, all we need is the word “gay” or “queer” in a logline and our ears perk up.
Sometimes, just a few seconds of a trailer will have us making a beeline to the box office.Enter: Of An Age, an upcoming film with a 90-second teaser that is entirely a wordless sequence in which a gorgeous, shirtless man shakes his groove thing to some upbeat pop music.
Say no more—we’re in!In all seriousness, there are plenty of reasons to get excited for Of An Age, a new queer, coming-of-age tale slated to make its world premiere next month at the Melbourne International Film Festival.For one, the story has us very intrigued.
It’s 1999 in Australia and, during one fateful summer, a young Serbian immigrant named Kol is preparing for a dance contest (ah, hence the flashy choreography in the trailer!) when he receives a distressing call from his best friend, Ebony, in need of help after a wild night out.Immediately, Kol sets out in search of Ebony, enlisting her older brother, Adam, on his rescue mission.
