Мельбурнский кинофестиваль «Квир»
Об этом событии
MQFF начал свою историю в феврале 1991 года как часть фестиваля Midsumma, а в 1992 году стал самостоятельным фестивалем и переехал на март, а теперь проводится в ноябре. Его штаб-квартира находится в Victorian Pride Centre в Сент-Килде.
Все сеансы платные. В 2025 году центром проведения стал Cinema Nova в Карлтоне, а крупные мероприятия проходили в Collins Place, Melbourne Town Hall и Capitol. Короткометражные подборки и некоторые полнометражные фильмы также транслировались по всей стране на MQFF+ в течение дополнительной недели. Полная программа выходит примерно за месяц до начала.
35-й фестиваль проходил с 13 по 23 ноября 2025 года и открылся квир-зомби-комедией Queens of the Dead. Звезда сериала "Поза" Доминик Джексон получила первую в истории фестиваля награду Tribute Award. MQFF официально объявил 36-й фестиваль, который пройдет с 13 ноября (открытие) по 22 ноября 2026 года. Опубликованных данных о посещаемости мы не нашли.

Практические советы
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.
