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:
“It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one’s own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The point is that nationalism, even in its latest madhouse frenzies under Mussolini and Hitler, is still, like advertising, an arm of big business. Nations as we know them today, were the invention of business and it is natural that business should still consider itself slightly above patriotism and that the strongest international should still be the international of profits.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
