Waverley Library, 32-48 Denison St, Bondi Junction, NS, AUNovember's film is:
Due to copyright we can't name the film but here's a description to give you a clue:
An observational feature documentary that follows a group of older LGBTI+ people, who have been invited to attend a Ball celebrating their gender and sexual identity. Faced with the complexities of ageing and isolation, these extraordinary people seize each day with determination and humour. In a world that is rapidly changing for the LGBTI+ community, we witness some of our characters experiencing acceptance and love for the very first time in their lives.
