The Perth Queer Film Festival is back in 2024! Our 8th Festival promises a wide range of queer films to entice, excite and thrill our local audiences.

Running from March 6 - 12 and showing at the Backlot Perth we aim to bring a range of diverse and interesting LGBTQI films and documentaries to the Festival.

This year the Festival will head on the road with trips planned to at least 3 regional cities to share mini-festivals with local LGBTQI communities after our successful regional trips in 2022 and 2023.

With an exclusive opening night event and the chance to see some of the best new Queer Films this is the only Queer Film Festival on the West Coast of Australia.

    This festival is so amazing! I wish I could have attended this year's show. The staff and volunteers are great communicators and responsive to all questions in a timely manner. I've gotten feedback and exposure from their publicity as well as networking opportunities. I highly recommend submitting your film.

    This was a great festival experience! We are proud that it was our World Premiere of Emerald City. Great communication, beautiful program book, a wonderful multi-day event. We couldn't have asked for better.
