CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF QUEER FILM

streaming via mqff.com.au 19 November to 30 November WELCOME SPONSORS SPONSORS WELCOME TO PRINCIPAL PARTNER MQFF INTERUPTED

Okay, so the 30th Melbourne Queer Film Festival didn’t exactly go as FESTIVAL PARTNERS planned. Who are we kidding? This whole year has been one enormous raincheck from so much of what we usually take for granted. Four days into our festival in March we hit the pause button on what would have been our biggest ever celebration of queer film.

While we’ve all been in lockdown the MQFF team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring the best of 2020’s festival directly to your living room. Now you don’t even need to get up off the couch to enjoy the latest and greatest LGBTIQ+ films.

MQFF Interrupted showcases 22 films online, as well as a much-anticipated return to the Coburg Drive-In for the opening day of Happiest Season.

CINEMA PARTNERS EDUCATION PARTNER

We have films to make you laugh, cry and think about the
