Melbourne Queer Film Festival Incorporated
The Melbourne Queer Film Festival Incorporated is a prominent Australian nonprofit organization that serves as the premier platform for showcasing LGBTQI+ cinema. Established in 1991, it is the largest queer film event in the Southern Hemisphere and the country's oldest and largest queer film festival[1][2][3].
History
The festival was initially known as the Melbourne International Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival. It first took place at the Dendy Brighton Cinemas and the National Theatre in St Kilda as part of the Midsumma Festival. Over the years, it evolved to become a standalone event and was renamed to Melbourne Queer Film Festival in 2003[1][5].
Mission and Values
The Melbourne Queer Film Festival's mission is to engage the community with high-quality LGBTQI+ content, aiming to educate, entertain, and celebrate diversity. It seeks to foster a sense of pride and belonging among its community by showcasing contemporary queer narratives and promoting new Australian voices[3][5]. Core values include excellence, celebration, and diversity, focusing on delivering exceptional experiences and promoting visibility, equity, and equality[3].
Events
The festival typically takes place in November each year at multiple venues across Melbourne, including the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), Cinema Nova, and Village Cinemas[2][3]. It features a diverse program of over 140 features, shorts, and documentaries from around the world, often including world and Australian premieres[3][4]. The event also hosts discussions and community programs designed to connect the LGBTQI+ community with allies and supporters[3].
Impact
Melbourne Queer Film Festival has played a pivotal role in promoting LGBTQI+ visibility and supporting the development of queer cinema in Australia. It has been instrumental in the establishment of queer film festivals in other regions, including Brisbane, Bendigo, Far North Queensland, and New South Wales[1]. In recent years, it has attracted tens of thousands of attendees annually, making it a highlight of Melbourne's arts and cultural calendar[3][5].
