Cruising for a Bruising is a camp love letter to the Australian Suburbs. Growing up queer in outer-metropolitan Naarm (Melbourne), Kyle Archie Knight found himself drawn to explore the streets of his family neighbourhood. His search for moments that capture the essence of suburbia results in a celebration of the surreal and the mundane, the humorous and the humdrum. Knight delves into family archives and reconnects with past memories of estrangement, finding humour and delight in what was once alienating and suffocating.
