We are very excited to announce the new Festival Director for Geelong Pride Film Festival is Louise Lever. Louise has run successful LGBTIQA+ film screenings across Australia and she has a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland. Louise is also a filmmaker and brings significant experience in film and screen events. GPFF audiences may be familiar with her work as we featured her film ‘Joey’s Heart’ in our festival finale earlier this year.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to join the Geelong Pride Film Festival as Festival Director. Film holds a central place in my heart, so this opportunity means a lot to me personally. I’m excited to continue the festival’s reputation as a vibrant, inclusive space for LGBTIQA+ stories on screen and can’t wait to see what we can achieve as a team.”
