Brisbane Queer Film Festival

Overview

Brisbane’s Queer Film Festival is back at the Powerhouse for its twelfth annual running, bringing along a large collection of the world's most entertaining and diverse queer films. You know something has got to be good when it’s returning for the twelfth time!

Most of the films airing at the festival rarely receive ‘mainstream’ coverage in cinemas and other media outlets. The BQFF provides an opportunity for viewers to watch some great films (with both award winning and up and coming actors) that haven’t been exhibited across the mass media.

The ten-day festival also provides an environment for people of all sexualities to discuss and debate the issues facing the queer community that are reflected in the films. This is a very unique opportunity for acceptance and understanding that you won’t find anywhere else.

The festival spans a range of genre including comedy, documentary, drama, musicals and film shorts. Our pick of the festival is the oddball comedy I love you Philip Morris (showing April 16) staring Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor and Leslie Mann.

Note: All films shown throughout the festival are unclassified. This means they wont let in anyone under the age of 18.
