Geelong Pride Film Festival

The Geelong Pride Film Festival is an LGBT film festival held in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Its first film screening was in 2017 and the first festival was held in 2018.[1][2]

The festival screens contemporary and classic LGBTIQA+ themed feature-length and short films. The first festival in 2018 was a sold-out event.[3] The festival is run by volunteers through a non-profit incorporated association. The festival aims to bring more diverse films to the Geelong region and to contribute to the development of a vibrant community in Geelong for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and their allies.[4]

In 2019 the Geelong Pride Film Festival was held from April 5–7 at the Pivotonian Cinema and Courthouse Youth Arts.[5][6]

On 17 October 2019 Geelong Pride Film presented a special screening of John Waters' 1981 film Polyester to coincide with John Waters' 2019 Australian tour. This presentation featured the newly remastered edition of the film and was screened with Odorama cards.[7]

The 2020 Geelong Pride Film Festival was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
