The 13th Queer Screen Film Fest will run from 2 – 8 September 2026 at Event Cinemas George St.
Program Highlights
Hunky Jesus
Cast off the shame and enter a higher state of camp—where blasphemy is a virtue and joy is divine. Hunky Jesus is a rollicking, riotous, and heartfelt ode to the legendary Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
The Education of Jane Cumming
Adapted from Lillian Faderman’s Scotch Verdict, this striking period piece exposes the intersectional biases against a lesbian couple in 19th-century Scotland based on a real-life trial that rocked the country.
Big Girls Don't Cry
Executive produced by Jane Campion, this bittersweet slice of pre-smartphone nostalgia is a sensitive, unflinchingly honest portrait of queer youth on the precipice of self-discovery, coming direct from Sundance.
