Kicking On (1998 Australian short film)

1 videos • 11 views • by John Frame "Kicking On" is a 13 minute 1998 Australian film which cleverly challenges the homophobia which persists among some macho men. We see how an amateur Australian Rules Football (AFL) team responds to the rapidly spreading gossip that their biggest and toughest player has been seen kissing another man behind the local pub. Written and directed by Jaime Browne. Starring Neil Hutchins as Leigh, Justin Foster as Russ. Screened at the 2002 Brisbane Queer Film & Video Weekend. In January 2014 I uploaded a better quality and complete version of this short film - a vast improvement on the 2011 upload which was in 2 parts - and the formatting was faulty. In January 2014 the AFL began an excellent public campaign to fight against homophobia within their sport - prompted by the unrelenting honesty of young rural team player Jason Ball as per http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news...
