Melbourne Queer Film Festival

The Melbourne Queer Film Festival is the oldest, largest and most successful queer film festival in Australia. Our main festival screens over 100 sessions of LGBTQIA+ films over 11 days running through November.

The 2025 Melbourne Queer Film Festival will run from 13 Nov to 23 Nov.

Awards & Prizes

MQFF supports local and international filmmaking talent through our various jury and audience choice awards. In total, MQFF offers more than AUD $15,000 in prize money. This includes the AUD $5,000 City of Melbourne Award for Best Australian Short, which automatically qualifies the recipient for our nomination in the Iris Prize - the largest prize for a LGBTQIA+ short film in the world.
