Program Launch Party | Queer Screen’s 32nd Mardi Gras Film Festival

MGFF25 has launched! Last night Queer Screen’s 32nd Mardi Gras Film Festival (MGFF25) Program Launch Party was held at the State Library of NSW. Over 300 guests were treated to fantastic food and drink options from our fabulous Launch Partners: Laissez-Faire Catering, Mt Yengo Wines, AIX, Young Henrys, and Smize & Dream Ice Cream. We were welcomed to Country by City of Sydney Councillor Yvonne Weldon, AM. Queer Screen Co-Chairs Abs Osseiran and Co-Chair Angela Ruchin then took to the stage to introduce this year’s theme ‘Coming Together For The Love of Cinema’ and Festival Director Lisa Rose shared her highlights of the 2025 program.

Thank you to The Aperture Club for capturing the night’s festivities. The full photoset from the launch event and party are available for all, so go ahead and download your happy snaps from the night.
