Melbourne Queer Film Festival 2016
With 12 days of queer film, MQFF is the largest event of its kind in Australia.
Overview
Things are looking a little bit queer in Federation Square, with the return of the Melbourne Queer Film Festival to ACMI. The largest event of its kind anywhere in Australia, this year's festival features over 100 different features, documentaries and shorts, from searing dramas to crowd-pleasing comedies and everything in-between. Throw in special events ranging from speed dating to a virtual reality drag show, and film lovers will have their work cut out for them.
Standout films on this year's program include the highly anticipated Australian documentary Remembering the Man, a retrospective screening of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, and the local premiere of low key indie drama Boulevard featuring one of the final performances by the great Robin Williams. There's also a stellar selection of documentary, animated, gay and lesbian short films, plus industry workshops, public panels and more.
