FESTIVAL LOUNGE COMPETITIONS AWARDS VENUES The MQFF Festival Lounge is the ideal spot to meet up with friends and kick back before or after your film screening. Saddle up for a delicious meal, a quick snack, real coffee, a glass of wine or beer (thanks to our sponsors Train Trak Winery and Monteith’s Brewing Co). Or sidle up to a frozen daiquiri from The Daiquiri King for that cool inner glow. It’s the one-size-fits-all venue. Drop in for a quick visit, linger with friends or just hit the couches and beanbags and soak up the atmosphere. The Festival Lounge opens half an hour before the first film of the day and is open til late every night – even later on Friday and Saturday nights, where we bust out the DJs and good tunes. You’ll find the Festival Lounge in The Cube, ACMI galleries floor – if you’re at the Box Office, take the escalators downstairs. Entry is free, so come on down! The Melbourne Queer Film Festival’s box office and main screening venue are at ACMI Cinemas, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Federation Square, Melbourne. 1 Some sessions will screen at Greater Union Melbourne City Cinemas in Russell St. 2 Celluloid Casserole screens at Loop in Meyers Place, Melbourne. 3 Opening Night film and party are at the Astor Theatre, St Kilda. 4 The Opening Night After Party is at Hoo Haa, 105 Chapel St (upstairs), Windsor. 5 Don’t miss your chance to decide the best of the Fest in 2010!
