New Farm Queer Film Festival
About This Event
The New Farm Queer Film Festival is a ten-day season of LGBTQ+ films at New Farm Cinemas in Brisbane's inner north, part of the Five Star Cinemas group. It is a separate event from the Brisbane Queer Film Festival. Think of it as a neighbourhood cinema season that brings recent festival-circuit films to Queensland for the first time, not an industry event.
The dates move around. The 2025 edition ran from 2 to 12 October and opened with Twinless. The 2026 edition, the fifth, ran from 30 July to 8 August. Its opening night sold out, and its programme included the first Queensland screening of Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which won the Queer Palm at Cannes. The 2027 dates hadn't been announced when we checked.
