| | International Directory of Lesbian & Gay Film and Video Festivals | |
We currently include contact information for over 150 lesbian and gay
film festivals. Many of these are annual events. When available, the
dates of the most recent or upcoming festival are given, along with
information about how to contact each festival. Wherever possible we
also provide links to festivals with active Web sites. Entry deadlines
are usually one or two months prior to festival exhibition dates. Many
festivals have entry fees or other requirements for submissions.
Film/videomakers should inquire about submission guidelines before
sending unsolicited work, and should be aware of international shipping
requirements when sending films and videos overseas.
View this list as a single document
