Spotlight on the 2025 Midsumma Movie Program

Midsumma Festival is back in 2025 with an explosion of queer events that centre around hidden and mainstream queer culture, involving local, interstate, and international artists including a fantastic range of film events across the Midsumma season. We caught up with returning guest and friend of the show, Melbourne Queer Film Festival’s Program Director Cerise Howard, about many the fantastic films on offer in this year’s MQFF Midsumma program and we also review a few of them too. We also spoke to Jas Brooks, Tammy Burnstock and Brimbank Youth Services Youth Support and Inclusion Officer Jacob Tiauli about Scented Cinema, two interactive and sensory experience films screenings that are presented by Brimbank City Council in collaboration with Snivure and Scented Storytelling that will leave your noses and eyes having the time of your life! We moved on from Midsumma and finished up this show by speaking with multi-award-winning Irish film and theatre director John Crowley whose latest film ‘We Live In Time’, starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, is in Australian cinemas now.
