Melbourne Queer Film Festival 2026
About This Event
<p>Australia’s longest-running queer film festival, Melbourne Queer Film Festival (MQFF), takes over ACMI in Federation Square every March. You’ll also find screenings at other Melbourne venues.</p>
<p>Since 1991, MQFF has programmed Australian and international LGBTQ+ films: features, shorts, documentaries, and special events. Putting it at ACMI, the city’s main screen culture institution, shows how much both the queer community and the wider arts scene value it. </p>
<p>About 15,000 to 20,000 people come through MQFF’s doors each year. For more than 30 years, it’s been a launchpad for LGBTQ+ filmmakers from here and abroad.</p>

Practical Tips
Grab a festival pass rather than singles — the flagship galas and audience-award contenders sell out first.
Access requests go to info@mqff.com.au; give the team a few days for auslan and captioned bookings.
The Capitol rooftop cafe is the friendliest spot to swap film notes between double bills.
