When timid Torontonian Bea (Charlotte Salisbury), falls in with knockabout Kate (Australian actress Lucinda Armstrong Hall), she finds the best friend she needs to get through her family’s testy new existence as roadside diner owners in northern Ontario. On her side of the tracks, Kate faces an even spikier existence, with an absent mother and a violent brother. Director Ingrid Veniger’s (HE HATED PIGEONS, MQFF 2016) wistful and tender PORCUPINE LAKE is a complex look at how friendships can shape both our lives and our dreams. Please join actress Lucinda Armstrong Hall for a Q&A after the screening Running from March 15th to 26th, 2018 MQFF is Australia’s largest queer film festival.
