The festival allows LGBT people and their supporters to share the joy of watching movies that support their life experience in Regional Queensland. The storytellers of our community give us hope, courage and strength to stand up and live life to the full.Screening each year in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast, the Tropical Alternatives Film Festival screens a variety of films highlighting the richness in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.
Many LGBT people love movies but find their lives and their stories are not reflected on the silver screen. The Tropical Alternatives Film Festival shows films that mirror the lives of people in our communities.
