Brisbane Queer Film Festival 2021, Brisbane

In 2020, before Monsoon made cinema audiences swoon en masse, it screened at the Brisbane Queer Film Festival first. The same applies to Aussie teen rom-com Ellie & Abbie (& Ellie’s Dead Aunt), too. So, if you’re eager to see some of 2021’s queer movie highlights well before they reach general release, then you’d best make a date with this year’s BQFF.

Running from Thursday, March 11–Sunday, March 21, BQFF will unleash a jam-packed 11-day program at New Farm Cinemas, all to celebrate the fest’s 22nd year. Expect star-studded gems, the latest works from top directors, bold debuts from first-timers and everything in-between, all as part of a lineup that spans 20 features and three different shorts sessions.

From that…
