The 13th Queer Screen Film Fest will run from 2 – 8 September 2026 at Event Cinemas George St.
Program Highlights
Opening Night Film – Jim Queen
Sidesplittingly hilarious and packed with relentless, rapid-fire wit, Jim Queen is a neon-soaked, high-camp odyssey through a terrifying new apocalypse: a virus that turns queer people straight.
Closing Night Film – Sweet Milk Lake
A tender, high-stakes exploration of brotherhood, belonging, and the boyhoods left behind. With an exceptional ensemble cast including Harvey Zielinski, Hunter Page-Lochard, Kieran Darcy-Smith, Nic Cassim and more.
Bound – 30th Anniversary
Thirty years after its historic premiere, the remarkable debut feature from Lilly and Lana Wachowski remains a masterpiece of neo-noir style and an undisputed touchstone of sapphic cinema.
Local Gems
Body Blow
A neon-soaked homage to late-1980s erotic thrillers, packed to the brim with kink, danger, and explosive romance.
Our Effed Up World
When a gruesome alien evil crashlands in the woods, a grieving small-town homebody must team up with a ragtag crew of video store misfits to overcome her grief to save the world, featuring an all-star cast of queer film luminaries and produced by Jane Schoenbrun.
SWEET, CHEEKY, FEARLESS
Spanning countries, cultures, and genres, this curated collection dives headfirst into the hilariously awkward and deeply moving realities of contemporary life.
