We were lucky enough to get an invite to cover MQFF2019 launch at Crown
review and photos: Anthony Wayne
The Melbourne Queer Film Festival kicked off the launch of their 2019 program this week at the spectacular Crown Metropol - 28 Sky Bar. A strictly invite only event, we were very fortunate to be given access to this stylish affair with roaming canapés and the drinks flowing. This year marks the festivals 29th year – and is Australia’s largest and longest running queer festival. The festival is a key highlight of the LGBTIQ calendar and continues to grow in size. Running over 12 days from 14 March through to 25 March, the program offers screenings at three venues – Village Jam Factory, Cinema Nova, and ACMI providing greater access right across Melbourne. Included in the program are a diverse selection of more than 120 films from the best in queer cinema here in Australia and from around the world - including feature films, short films and documentaries. Head online to browse the program at mqff.com.au – and tickets are available for purchase either online, through their official MQFF app, or at the box office – located at the venues above. In addition to program, the festival offers contests for filmmakers – this year’s short film contest ‘Keep The Vibe Alive’ was a partnership between MQFF and Quit aimed at raising awareness of the high smoking rates within the LGBTIQ community. The two winning films were announced and screened at the program launch – both highly entertaining and with a positive message challenging the perception that smoking is attractive. They will continue to be shown before every screening throughout the festival. Screened at the launch were several trailers giving us a small taste of the program – including Rafiki, Sauvage, Knife+Heart and Black Divaz. After getting this special preview I am certainly excited to head off and see Black Divaz which features the talents of indigenous queer drag artists. I’m sure I will have plenty more on my list to see once I finish perusing the program. Distinguished guests at the launch included program director – Spiro Economopoulos, Fiona Patten, Ro Allen, Mayor of Stonnington – Cr Steve Stefanopoulos. Thank you to MQFF for the invitation and congratulations on another exciting year for the festival!
