Festival de Cine Queer de Melbourne
Sobre este evento
MQFF comenzó en febrero de 1991 como parte de Midsumma, se convirtió en un festival incorporado propio en 1992 y se trasladó a marzo, y ahora se celebra en noviembre. Tiene su sede en el Victorian Pride Centre en St Kilda.
Todas las sesiones son de pago. En 2025, el centro neurálgico fue Cinema Nova en Carlton, con grandes eventos en Collins Place, Melbourne Town Hall y el Capitol. Los paquetes de cortometrajes y algunas películas también se transmitieron a nivel nacional en MQFF+ durante una semana adicional. El programa completo sale aproximadamente un mes antes.
La 35ª edición se celebró del 13 al 23 de noviembre de 2025 y se inauguró con la comedia queer de zombis Queens of the Dead. La estrella de Pose, Dominique Jackson, recibió el primer Premio Homenaje del festival. MQFF ha anunciado oficialmente la 36ª edición del 13 de noviembre (noche de apertura) al 22 de noviembre de 2026. No pudimos encontrar cifras de asistencia publicadas.

Consejos prácticos
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.
