About Queer Screen: Queer Screen’s Mardi Gras Film Festival was established in 1993 as a celebration of the diversity of sexualities and gender identities through queer storytelling on screen. It is now one of Australia’s largest film festivals of any kind. Since 2015 Queer Screen has awarded $42,000 in funding to Australian filmmakers. In 2018 Queer Screen launched Pitch Off, which awards $10,000 to produce a short film dealing with LGBTIQ experiences. The annual My Queer Career competition pioneered queer short film competitions exclusively for locally produced work, and screens during the Mardi Gras Film Festival in Feb/Mar. Since 2013 the Queer Screen Film Fest has delivered the latest LGBTIQ movies to Sydney’s screens in September. About the developers: Ferve Tickets are proud to support this year's Queer Screen’s program. Whether you're buying tickets online or at the box office, knowing where to be for the next show, or having your tickets and passes when you need them, we're with you the whole way.
