The TILDE film festival for transgender and gender-diverse cinema returns in May 2026. The festival runs from 1 to 9 May in Narrm. The theme is 'Young Blood'. The programme focuses on films by transgender filmmakers.

The festival offers a platform for filmmakers who identify as transgender or gender-diverse. Young talent is the focus this year. Films will screen at multiple venues across the city. This makes the festival accessible to a broad audience.

TILDE established itself years ago as an important event. Cinephiles seek fresh, diverse stories here. The festival gives space to voices often underrepresented in mainstream cinema. This edition aims to spotlight a new generation of filmmakers.

For independent cinema lovers, this festival promises interesting programming. Those interested in cinematography beyond major studios will appreciate it. More information about submissions and programme arrives later this year.
