Macao International Queer Film Festival Gears Up for Return This March

Following its successful launch in February last year, the Macao International Queer Film Festival (MIQFF) is making a comeback for its second edition this month.

Themed “Love is the Answer,” the festival will screen 14 feature films and five short films that showcase the diverse nature of the queer community. These films will be shown from March 22 to April 6 at the Emperor Cinema in Lisboeta Macau.

One of the films to be featured in the festival is the award-winning queer film “Housekeeping for Beginners,” which bagged the Silver Q-Hugo award at the 2023 Chicago International Film Festival and the Queer Lion recognition at the 2023 Venice Film Festival.

Other films to be screened include American production “Mutt,” Japanese film “Kubi,” English independent film “Femme,” Taiwan’s “Murmur of Youth,” and “Blue Gate Crossing,” among others.

Tickets to these films are available via Emperor Cinema’s website. To learn more about the festival, you can visit MIQFF’s website or follow its Facebook and Instagram pages.
