The Capri is very proud to host a night of queer films as part of the Feast Festival celebrations. The first half of the evening will be a collection of short films curated by Queer Screen, that will culminate in the world premiere of a film shot here in Adelaide, titled ‘Hush Darling.’ There will also be a Q&A with the film maker, Saara Lamberg. This will be followed by the South Australian premiere of And Then We Danced.
And Then We Danced – Merab has been training since a young age at the National Georgian Ensemble with his dance partner Mary. His world is suddenly turned upside down when the charismatic and carefree Irakli arrives and becomes both his strongest rival and desire. In this conservative setting Merab finds himself having to break free and risk it all.
Hush Darling – is a story of Simon and Layan in the all too familiar scenario of the first date nerves, anxieties and excitement. Before their date has even started, both men have had several “what if” scenarios in their heads. Will they self sabotage what could be a happy ending for both of them?

Three Tenors: Voices for Eternity
2020-10-25 16:00 - 17:30
It’s been 30 years since Luciano Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo made their historic debut as The Three Tenors at the ancient baths of Caracalla on the eve of the 1990 Football World Cup Final. A global audience of 1.6 billion people watched this groundbreaking concert – and it catapulted classical music into a completely new dimension, becoming the best-selling classical album of all time.
Three Tenors: Voices for Eternity celebrates the emotional highlights of that first concert and the sequel in Los Angeles. With brand new interviews and never-before-seen backstage footage, this documentary offers a fascinating insight into the rivalries and friendships of the legendary opera stars from 1990 through to Pavarotti’s passing in 2007.
As opera houses remain silent and football stadiums are empty of supporters, fans can relive the moment history was made by The Three Tenors in Rome 1990, and remember the night when the ‘Beautiful Game’ crossed a cultural divide and changed classical music forever.
