Saturday 23rd March, 2024: Ro Bright, CEO Tilde Film Festival (May 3-5‪)‬ Saturday Magazine

Celebrate the beauty of individuality – Tilde Turns Ten Footscray Arts Centre

3 May – 5 May

Community-led international film festival Tilde celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, presenting a

program with the theme of Trans Collectivism – breaking the stigma around ‘being the only trans and

gender expansive person in the room’ and championing individuality and connection with one another in a

safe and supportive environment.

Tilde will host seven sessions across three days, to honour the work of established and emerging trans

and gender diverse (TGD) artists. Tilde is proud to highlight the community that has emerged for

audiences and TGD artists alike.

Audiences can expect an eclectic program of films spanning genres of comedy, romance and drama. The

Festival will also showcase the beauty of dance, music and performance through film and conversation

panels.

Tilde CEO Ro Bright says, “Listen carefully and you’ll hear filmmakers say getting a film made is a

miracle. Tilde is a multi-faceted festival filled with these miracles, showcasing our ever-expanding

community, and sharing our humanity through our stories.”

Through a collaboration with Sapphic Flicks, opening night will feature a selection of films from First

Nations practitioners, panels, industry conversations, and food. Screening highlights of opening night
