Old Habits documentarian Alfie Faber on the gay liberation journey of The Sydney Order of Perpetual Indulgence

In its current form, Old Habits is part of the ABC Compass series, but as you'll hear in this interview with Alfie Faber, he's working on expanding the short into a feature length documentary. And gosh, what a film it will be if he gets it to a feature length. Old Habits is a delight, utilising the charm and vibrancy of the Sisters to expand upon a hidden part of Australian queer history. Watching Old Habits reminded me of my conversation with Julie Peters about her documentary The Accidental Archivist . In that film, Julie talks about the self-documentation of queer history in Australia and discovering her place in the LGBTIQA+ community. Old Habits acts as an extension of the opening of queer history archives, ensuring that Australian queer history is accessible to future generations. To find out more about the Order of Perpetual Indulgence and its Sydney members, visit UniversalJoy.com.au . After discussing Old Habits , Alfie also talks about his podcast series Sound Perspective , an in depth series featuring interviews with creatives about the role of sound in films. I highly recommend listening to it. Make sure to also check out Final_Final_Locked from the Australian Screen Editors. Watch Old Habits on ABC iView here .
