Out Takes Guide to MQFF 2024 part 2: reviews and recommendations

TV & Film

The Melbourne Queer Film Festival is Australia’s oldest and largest queer film festival and returns from November 14 to 24 with a program that celebrates the way sound and vision have been a source of inspiration and transformation for LGBTQIA+ communities and everyone across the world. MQFF Program Director Cerise Howard and MQFF Chief Executive Officer David Martin Harris joined us on the show in October to give us the scoop on this year’s festival and the incredibly diverse program on offer, so with this show it’s now our turn to look at some of the films we’ve seen in advance and let you know what we’re recommending at MQFF 2024. From musical documentaries to First Nations sports dramas, experimental science fiction and more, there really is something for everyone at this year’s MQFF. We also revisit our interview with David Charles Rodrigues from earlier this year who’s beautiful and timely documentary ‘Gay Chorus Deep South’ is screening again after its debut in March 2020 before COVID locked us down. Happy MQFF to all who celebrate, we look forward to seeing you out and about and in the cinema this November!
