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.

Practical Tips
Book the closing night early
The closing-night screening at New Farm Cinemas sells out first — grab that ticket before you fill in the rest of the schedule.
Pair a film with the New Farm strip
Brunswick Street and Merthyr Village are a two-minute walk from the cinema, so bookend a screening with dinner and cocktails on foot.
