Queensland Film Festival Announces 2016 Program

The Queensland Film Festival (QFF) has doubled in size for its 2016 return. Taking place at New Farm Cinemas from 15 - 24 Jul, the annual festival will screen 40 features and shorts, including 19 Australian premieres.

QFF's second annual program opens with Pedro Almodovar's Julieta, the Spanish master's 20th feature.

The rest of QFF's 2016 selection continues to showcase the depth and breadth of contemporary filmmaking as a form of artistic expression across 20 features and 20 shorts.

QFF is passionate about supporting local talent, with Sean Byrne's (The Loved Ones) heavy metal horror effort The Devil's Candy and Sydney-based Margot Nash's documentary essay The Silences flying the flag for Australian filmmaking. QFF will also host a special free screening on 9 Jul in the lead up to the main event, featuring Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc's surrealist piece Sector IX B, plus short films A Distant Episode and Towards The Possible Film.
