We hope you enjoy the line up of feature films, short films and documentaries we’ve selected from the best queer cinema on the international film festival circuit.

12th Out Takes Festival in Wellington

This past year has been a busy time for Reel Queer as we try to transition to a more sustainable organisational structure and to develop a revenue base that will reduce our reliance on funding. After 12 years of presenting Out Takes, it’s timely for us to introduce some innovations this year: a re-branded festival name, a membership scheme and a larger format for our programme brochure.

We are grateful to our sponsors, advertisers and filmgoers for their ongoing support of the festival.

NZAF is our Gold Tiara Sponsor
