DESCRIPTION
The Coming Back Out Ball Movie follows artist Tristan Meecham as he stages a spectacular ball to celebrate the sexual and gender identity of older LGBTI+ people. Tristan works to celebrate a night that acknowledges and celebrates LGBI+ elders who, as he says, paved the way for him – a young gay man – to be out and proud.Over the course of this documentary, eleven key characters open their hearts with raw honesty, generously sharing their painful and secretive pasts, looking back fifty years or more to a world far less accepting of LGBTI+ people. Many of our cast have experienced social isolation. The CBOB (Coming Back Out Ball) project gave them new confidence, reasons to reconnect and vital opportunities to be accepted and respected. This shift was subtle; a coming together of disparate groups, of communities whose common ground was the shared experience of isolation and discrimination. Our film listens to elderly Australians, mostly in their seventies and eighties, who are now living their authentic life, who want to speak honestly and be heard. Tristan battles through the judgements and doubts from stakeholders, and even some of the LGBTI+ elders he's working with, to remain focused on creating the ball. He is determined to take over Melbourne's largest civic space, the magnificent Melbourne Town Hall, to honour 'his elders'.
