Donate today to uplift queer voices and keep queer stories on screen. We deeply appreciate all contributions, no matter the size. Your support empowers us to continue our mission.
Since 1993, Queer Screen has been bringing LGBTIQ+ stories to audiences across Australia.
Through the Mardi Gras Film Festival, Queer Screen Film Fest and year-round programs, we create a platform for stories that often sit outside the mainstream.
Many of these films are not commercially driven. They do not always receive distribution, and without organisations like Queer Screen, they simply would not be shown in Australia.
That is what makes this work so important.
For many people, seeing a queer story on screen is the first time they have ever felt truly seen. It creates connection, visibility and a sense of belonging that is hard to find elsewhere.
This is a festival built by the community, and it still belongs to the community.
Your support helps us:
-
- present festivals and screenings across Australia
- support emerging LGBTIQ+ filmmakers
- create spaces where our community can come together.
With your help, we can continue to ensure these stories are seen, supported and celebrated.
Make a tax-deductible donation before 30 June.
