Fiona and Paul talk to Cerise Howard, Program director, Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Midsumma Movies.
Melbourne Queer Film Festival and Midsumma Festival Present:
The inaugural Midsumma Movies will hit the screen at The Capitol Theatre this January, delivering a
sizzling weekend of the newest and most fabulous queer cinema.
Running from 27 – 28 January 2024, with back-to-back screenings across two glorious days,
Midsumma Movies will showcase a dynamic cross-section of queer cinema including this summer's
hottest queer film releases, Dicks: The Musical and Bottoms, as well as encore screenings from
MQFF33 – Shape, Solo and the Australian Made Shorts.Midsumma Movies is a collaboration between the Melbourne Queer Film Festival (MQFF) and
Midsumma – Victoria’s two largest festivals for LGBTQIA+ communities and their allies. The
partnership is set to become a regular feature of Midsumma – showcasing film as a key part of queer
arts in Victoria.
The partnership also has a historical connection for the two organisations, as the Melbourne Queer
Film Festival originally started as a part of Midsumma in 1990 before becoming an independent
festival.
MQFF CEO, David Martin Harris, said: “Midsumma is a celebration of queer art in all its forms,
and film is a vital part of how we tell the stories of our communities. This new partnership will see
this important art form become a regular part of the Midsumma line-up and showcase the latest queer
films – as well as some throwbacks that are an important part of our queer history.”
Tickets for Midsumma Movies are now on sale at mqff.com.au
