Core Business
The core business of MQFF is film screenings, which accounts for over 95% of the business and includes the main Festival held in March each year. The annual Festival includes programs such as Queeries: Bent On Film Youth Program, International Shorts and Feature Films, Documentary Packages, Foreign Language Films, The City of Melbourne Emerging Filmmaker Award, and an experimental program, along with several forums and lectures. International filmmakers and guests attend the Festival each year and are encouraged to contribute to the Festival by their involvement in forums and interviews with the media about their films or programs.
MQFF also holds screenings at the Fairfield Amphitheatre as part of the Midsumma Festival in January and February each year. Throughout the year MQFF holds one-off screenings for its members and the general public at various venues around Melbourne.

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or business:
“In the core of God’s abysm,—
Was a weed of self and schism;
And ever the Daemonic Love
Is the ancestor of wars,
And the parent of remorse.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these,—but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust,—some of them suicides.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
