FILM SUBMISSIONS FOR 2024 CLOSED - WHICH MEANS...GET READY FOR THE FILM FESTIVAL COMING SOON!
Movies and film have the power to connect us as a community; to share our sorrows and our victories. Our community has always had to fight to be seen, and we want you to share your vision.
We've gathered film makers from all over the world to share their visions of what coming out means and want to share them with.
There is no one way of coming out, or how you express your gender and/or sexuality. Each person who comes out follows their own unique path. Get ready to explore coming out from some amazing film makers!
Meet our amazing judges
for 2024
We are proud to welcome our expert film festival judges: Kari Barclay (they/them, playwright, Assistant Professor of Theater at Oberlin College), Ann Kreitman (they/them, director and playwright), Mauricio Martinez (he/him, Broadway and TV actor), Pooya Mohseni (she/her, actor, writer, filmmaker and activist) and Sasha Sturtevant (he/him, film programmer).
"Don't come out unless you want to. Don't come out for anyone
else's sake. Don't come out because you think society expects
you to. Come out for yourself. Come out to yourself. Shout, sing
it. Softy stutter it. Correct those who say they knew before you did. That's not how sexuality works, it's yours to define."
- Dean Atta
