Outfest not only celebrates queer cinema but also holds discussions, seminars, and parties all concerning LGBT causes. In fact, Outfest supports several programs that highlight the diversity of the LGBT community (Outfest Fusion), the preservation of LGBT films for future generations (Outfest UCLA LegacyProject), and the education and mentoring of future artists and filmmakers (Outfest Forward). Despite their good deeds, however, the point of the Outfest film festival is, of course, the films. Curated by your personal queer film connoisseurs, we’ve selected ten films that will have you in laughter and tears as you relate to the characters and their stories on the big screen.
