The Melbourne Queer Film Festival has found its new program director in the form of Cerise Howard, an experienced film festival programmer and co-founder of both the Czech and Slovak Film Festival and the Melbourne Trans and Gender Diverse Film Festival.
It was announced today that Howard, a non-binary trans woman, would board the MQFF as its program director imminently.
‘With her extensive experience in film festival programming and commitment to championing underrepresented voices in cinema, Cerise is the perfect fit to lead MQFF’s programming into the future,’ a representative of MQFF said in a statement.
