Queer Screen’s 2024 Mardi Gras Film Festival

TV & Film

This year’s Mardi Gras Film Festival is back screening in Sydney from February 15 to 29, before an on demand encore streaming nationwide from March 1 to 11. Now in its 31st year, the Festival theme for 2024 encourages the audience to indulge in a good, old-fashioned, post-screening discussion (or debate!) and with an epic 161 films and events spread across 77 unique programs, MGFF24 will be on everyone’s lips. Check out queerscreen.org.au for full details on the line up of films, events and more.

To find out all the glorious details about this year’s festival we went straight to the source, one of our favourite returning guests, festival director Lisa Rose. We also revisited our chat with Marion Pilowsky from last November to talk about her wonderful documentary ‘Isla’s Way’ which is also screening in this years MGFF.
