Supportix Program
Queer Screen recognises that there are many barriers our community faces when it comes to attending our events, so we have created the Supportix program. Supportix is intended for those who are facing social or economic barriers to accessing film festival tickets and enables Queer Screen to give 2 free tickets to those unable to buy their own.
Youth Tickets
Aged between 15 -25? Head to the Queer Screen box office 1 hour before the film you’d like to watch for $10 Youth Tickets. Only available at the Festival Box Office for any non-sold out session.
$10 Community Screenings
Queer Screen is committed to removing barriers preventing people from attending QSFF24 with these $10 Community Screenings.
