Queer Screen Film Festival 2026

Get ready for a cinematic celebration that brings together all things queer, bold, and brilliant. The 2026 Queer Screen Film Festival is on its way — and yes, we’re still ironing out the exact dates, but rest assured, September is the magic month.

As always, this isn’t just a film festival — it’s a gathering. A space to connect, to be seen, and to celebrate stories that reflect the rich tapestry of queer lives. While we’re waiting for the full program to drop, here’s what we know so far: you’ll be able to join for collective screenings, post-film chats, and plenty of community spirit — all curated by your pals at the Sydney Bi+ Social Club.

Why this matters: Queer Screen has been a cornerstone of Australia’s LGBTQIA+ arts scene for decades, telling stories that challenge, comfort, inspire, and move us. This year, we’re doubling down on bringing the magic to life — together.

What to expect:

• Curated film programs with queer protagonists and perspectives
• Post-screening discussions and Q&As (tbc)
• Community-focused events — think cozy hangouts, snack breaks, and inclusive spaces
• Your feedback shapes the experience — let us know what you want to see

Whether you’re a film buff or just love a good gathering, this is your invitation to join in. All events are hosted by volunteers who pour their hearts into making space for queer communities — so please, be kind and patient with us as we piece it all together.

Let’s make this festival unforgettable — together.
