Frontbum Dancin' by Tonnette Stanford 2007
FrontBum Dancin’ by Tonnette Stanford
Frameline: In the pursuit of self-expression, Victoria and Marianne take their unique form of dance, and their frontbums, out of the studios and onto the streets of Sydney. Dressed in their red and yellow full body lycra suits they perform anywhere and everywhere – always drawing a crowd. Unfortunately, the public reaction is not always so positive – some people point, some laugh, and some take great offence to their lack of co-ordination. However, for Victoria and Marianne their love of dance makes it all worthwhile. That is until the pressure starts to escalate as they prepare for their first big gig at the Sly Fox nightclub. Creative and personal differences, not only places the Frontbum dance in jeopardy, but more importantly, their lifelong friendship may never be the same again.
Hummer • Guinevere Turner 2004
Hummer by Guinevere Turner
Frameline: As Casey frantically prepares for a dinner party, she regales her friend Bee with tales of Sam, the new girl she is dating. Sam is great in every way, except for one maddening thing – she hums! No tune, just an absent-minded hum. Later, as the dinner party unfolds, Casey’s tunnel vision becomes obvious, only to be thrown off by a surprise encounter in the bathroom.

The Vicious and the Delicious by Tonnette Stanford
Frameline: A queer parody of classic soap operas such as Dynasty and The Bold and the Beautiful, The Vicious and the Delicious explores the shocking scandals of the powerful Cassamento family and their lovers.

Electra is engaged to Scarlet, but Scarlet is having a baby with Electraís mother, Charmaine. Behind their glamorous facades, there are no innocent parties, and the question remains; will Silvo ever get that life-saving esophagus? And if so, whose esophagus will it be?
Nail-scratching catfights, countless illicit affairs, double identities, mistrustful motives, dubious dealings, fabulous fashion statements, and bizarre story twists – all this and more in…The Vicious and the Delicious!
