The Love of My Life: The extraordinary story of an ordinary couple – Monash Lens
The Love of My Life is a short Australian documentary portraying the sweet, fierce, and uncompromising love story between the newly-married Gail and Lisette, a transgender lesbian couple in their 60s who live in suburban Adelaide/Kaurna Country. The documentary, directed by Francesca Rizzoli and produced by Trevor Graham, has been recently aired on ABC TV in Australia, and is since then available on ABC iview . This work is a strong example of artivism – namely, art plus activism – raising awareness of the LGBTQIA+ community in Australia, as well as making the viewers reflect on how genders are performed, portrayed and perceived in our society.
