Overview

Counting down until the second Queensland Film Festival starts? Can't wait to watch your way through their 40-title 2016 lineup? If so, then you'd best head to the Institute of Modern Art at 3pm on July 9, because that's when this year's QFF really kicks off.

Dedicating ten days to showcasing the best of international cinema just isn't enough, so QFF is hosting a preview screening before the festival's official opening night. Who doesn't want to spend their Saturday afternoon feasting their eyes on a specially curated selection of experimental shorts? That's what film festivals are all about, after all.

Telling the tale of a young anthropologist seeking to push the limits of her discipline, Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc's Sector IX B, is the main attraction — as well a film that really should be seen in a darkened room. Add Ben Rivers' meditative A Distant Episode, Shezad Dawood's hallucinatory Towards the Possible Film, and an introduction by Professor Sue Best, and it's the kind of session that cinephiles' dreams are made of.
