There’s an LGBTQ+ film festival you can attend without even leaving the house

Since 2018, this film festival has been dedicated to elevating LGBTQ+ creatives.

What we found through the advent of the pandemic and virtual events is that there is a community of people who desperately want to attend film festivals, but due to reasons such as medical or financial constraints, had never been able to,’ Mitch continued. ‘The virtual festival created such a sense of community during the periods of isolation and lockdown, and we couldn’t shut the door on those people that found refuge and entertainment with it, just because the rest of the world went “back to normal”.’ The festival was born out of a desire to be an inclusive, safe space for minority or marginalised filmmakers and film fans, with both the virtual event and in-person fest at the Whirled Cinema championing LGBTQ+ creatives and themes.
