Day Five

The final day of our record-breaking QSFF19 began with another sold out session: QUEER SCREEN PITCH OFF! 7 finalists pitched to the judging panel in front of an enthusiastic crowd with TUĪ NÁ awarded $10,000 in funding. Another sold out crowd was moved by powerful documentary SEAHORSE, followed by our always-popular LESBIAN SHORTS package. Queer Screen Presidents Cheryl Kavanagh and Joe Duggan, and Festival Director Lisa Rose spoke about our biggest Queer Screen Film Fest ever, before the Closing Night crowd enjoyed the Sydney Premiere of BENJAMIN.

Family Screening

On Sunday, we kicked off #QSFF19 season with a free open air screening of THE LITTLE MERMAID, co-presented with Rainbow Families and City of Sydney. It was a gloriously sunny day in Sydney Park, with kids, dogs and picnic blankets galore. Plus we had lots of eager customers queuing up for free face painting, and Sydney Womens Baseball League cooking up a storm on their delicious fundraising BBQ. Thanks to Aperture Club for the pics.
