MQFF: F*cktoys

Annapurna Sriram’s Fucktoys returns for your Midsumma pleasure

We’re bringing back MQFF’s most popular film of 2025: the underground festival hit and cult love child of John Waters and David Lynch that is completely unhinged and camp as hell. Annapurna Sriram’s Fucktoys returns for your Midsumma pleasure.

Fucktoys is a wild homage to the grindhouse greats and firmly establishes Annapurna Sriram, winner of the Special Jury Award for a Multi-Hyphenate at the SXSW Film Festival, as an icon in the making. A personal favourite of the festival programming team and audiences around the world, this is an unmissable opportunity to see Fucktoys on the big screen or, for those who came last time, a chance to chase that repeat dopamine hit.

The story is simple: AP, a part-time sex worker and full-time chaos magnet, is convinced she’s cursed, and she’s right. Surrounded by psychics who, for a cool $1,000, will sacrifice a baby lamb to free her, AP searches for redemption in a queer-coded landscape that proves to be anything but simple.

Fucktoys features a beloved cast including Sadie Scott, the legendary Big Freedia, 13 Reasons Why’s Brandon Flynn, The Comeback’s Damian Young, and a knockout performance by The Borgias’ François Arnaud, who also co-stars in Twinless.

Sriram’s Fucktoys does not disappoint.
