Overview
Queer Screen presents the Mardi Gras Film Festival, giving Sydneysiders their only chance to see these films on a big screen. Hosted at Event Cinemas George Street, this 15-day festival celebrates queer identity on screen in the lead up to the famous Mardi Gras parade on March 7.
With nearly 50 feature films plus short programs, MGFF is bulging with content. Intergenerational lesbian drama Tru Love and multi-storied Mexican tale of gay acceptance Four Moons are sold out, but Boys and The Way He Looks are charming and sweet tales of teen romance from the Netherlands and Brazil respectively. Equally sweet but far more sexually explicit and hilarious is the documentary Peter De Rome: Godfather of Gay Porn.
On the more erotic side is the latin sex odyssey I Am Happiness on Earth, while Lyle is a Rosemary’s Baby tribute. Meanwhile, Mala Mala, American Vagabond and Out in the Night are hard-hitting documentaries about the conflicts that still face LGBT people across the world. There are even screenings of Brokeback Mountain, Frozen and Aussie cult classic The Set.
