tilde: Melbourne Trans & Gender Diverse Film Festival

Established in 2014, tilde is a community-led, international film festival based in Melbourne. We are one of only a handful of trans and gender diverse (TGD) film festivals in the world.

Our focus is on the margins: those who live, work, and create on the periphery of dominant cultures. Our Mission is to redress the critical lack of positive TGD representations in mainstream culture by fostering TGD-created stories and storytelling in Australia and beyond.

We prioritise films that are directed, written, produced or collectively made by TGD filmmakers. We welcome films of all genres, lengths and styles, and are particularly interested in Australian and BIPOC filmmakers.

Our festival includes panels, networking sessions, community parties and special Multi-disciplinary performances.

Submission requires a $10 AUD fee.
