This film is an evocation of the life of the 19th century French poet Arthur Rimbaud, based on a series of paintings by Sidney Nolan. Rimbaud was always one of Nolan’s heroes. Over the years he painted many pictures of the poet. The famous artist responded enthusiastically to a suggestion by an Australian scriptwriter for a film about Rimbaud and he produced 31 large new paintings for this film together with many small crayon drawings. These works, interwoven with a wealth of drawings paintings, photographs and documents from the Louvre, the French National Library and the Rimbaud Museum at Charleville, have been combined in a filmic evocation of one of France’s most extraordinary writers.

A group of women who dared to change their worlds. The film documents the first twenty years of Australia's Jewish Lesbian Group of Victoria, the first LGBTIQ Jewish group to come out publicly to express pride in their Lesbian and Jewish identities and fight for visibility and against all forms of discrimination. 'It's Who We Are' provides an intimate view of the controversies these feisty women have confronted as they have challenged hetero-sexism, lesbophobia, anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia in their communities, and Australia. Along the way, they have created a community that honors their Jewish and Lesbian cultures. In changing their communities, these women have also been changed. The film documents the first 20 years of Australia’s Jewish Lesbian Group of Victoria, the first LGBTIQ Jewish group to come out publicly to express pride in their Lesbian and Jewish identities and fight for visibility and against all forms of discrimination.
