‘Leviticus’ with special guest Adrian Chiarella and John Cameron Mitchell for MIFF 2026
<p>For this Out Takes, we were very excited to bring you our review and interview with Adrian Chiarella, the writer and director of <a href="https://www.causewayfilms.com.au/films/leviticus">‘Leviticus’,</a> a new gay horror-supernatural film that is in cinemas now and is already being hailed as one of the best Australian films of the year. Set within a Christian community in regional Victoria, it takes the already-terrifying reality of conversion therapy and magnifies it into something supernatural: a haunting demon, visible only to its victims, which takes the shape of the person they most deeply desire. With a fantastic cast and an excellent premise that is explored specifically from a queer lens, Leviticus is one to definitely see on the big screen this Pride Month. Adrian Chiarella is a local award-winning screenwriter and director who has made his mark in television and delivered highly acclaimed short films at festivals around the world. We caught up with him recently on the promo trail for <a href="https://www.flicks.com.au/movie/leviticus/">‘Leviticus’</a> to discuss all aspects of the film including the development of his original idea into a feature film, his cinematic inspirations, the casting process and more.<br /> Also, with the recent announcement of the return of John Cameron Mitchell for the <a href="https://miff.com.au/program/film/john-cameron-mitchell-presents-hedwig-and-the-angry-inch-25th-anniversary">2026 Melbourne International Film Festival for a special 25th anniversary celebration of ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’</a>, we revisited our 2018 interview with the queer auteur to discuss the ongoing impact of this defiant and uncategorisable cult classic.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://joy.org.au/outtakes/2026/06/23/leviticus-with-special-guest-adrian-chiarella-and-john-cameron-mitchell-for-miff-2026/">‘Leviticus’ with special guest Adrian Chiarella and John Cameron Mitchell for MIFF 2026</a> appeared first on <a href="https://joy.org.au/outtakes">Out Takes</a>.</p>

Out Takes Extra: Adrian Chiarella for ‘Leviticus’
<p>With the Australian cinema release finally here, we were delighted to speak with <a href="https://www.causewayfilms.com.au/films/leviticus">‘Leviticus’</a> director Adrian Chiarella about this homegrown queer horror feature film that caused a stir at Sundance and is about to be unleashed here and around the world. Set within a Christian community in regional Victoria, ‘Leviticus’ takes the already-terrifying reality of conversion therapy and magnifies it into something supernatural: a haunting demon, visible only to its victims, that takes the shape of the person they most deeply desire. Led by incredible performances by Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen, this film is also a celebration of local gay talent courtesy of its very talented writer / director and definitely one of the must-see Australian films of this year. For this Out Takes Extra exclusive, we spoke with Adrian about his career and the film, including finding out more about his inspirations, how his sexuality and experiences growing up shaped the story and much more.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://joy.org.au/outtakes/2026/06/17/out-takes-extra-adrian-chiarella-for-leviticus/">Out Takes Extra: Adrian Chiarella for ‘Leviticus’</a> appeared first on <a href="https://joy.org.au/outtakes">Out Takes</a>.</p>
