Melbourne Queer Film Festival

“The gift of sound and vision”, as avid David Bowie once put it — has inspired and shaped queers and fellow travellers of all walks of life. Informative, performative, formative — this year’s festival will be the making of us all.

This year, the Melbourne Queer Film Festival at The Capitol dives into the vibrant intersections of sound and vision that have shaped LGBTQIA+ culture.

Through celebrated genres like the movie musical, which resonates deeply with queer audiences, and the boundary-breaking music videos of the ‘80s, this series reveals the “hidden in plain sight” queer histories that have influenced global pop culture.

Join us for a cinematic journey that celebrates these pivotal art forms and their profound impact on queer identity and expression.
