WELCOME to the LGBTQ LOVE STORY Film Festival.
This festival wants to celebrate all kind of LGBTQ love stories.
Those stories that are filled with passion, romance, obsession, or fighting injustice.
This can be a narrative story, a documentary, a dance or music video, or an animation. The festival takes place in London as part of the LOVE STORY FILM FESTIVAL which was run for its first year in 2019.

LGBTQ LOVE STORY Film Festival is organized by the successful New Renaissance Film Festival, ranked in the top 100 best-reviewed film festivals on FilmFreeway. NRFF has screened world and UK premieres and films that went on to win an Oscar! The team also runs the LGBTQ NRFF Amsterdam. (To watch one of the trailers: https://vimeo.com/200750662)

    We loved taking part in this festival. The communication between us and the organisers, Jan and Massi was top class and they really were great at keeping us in the loop. We even scooped an award for Best International LGBTQ+ International short. Thanks so much for a great festival.

  • I had a fabulous time at this festival. Many interesting conversations, made new friends and saw some great films. Our film Love Has No Label even took the prize for Best LGBTQ Short home. Jan and Massimo have been absolutely wonderful and generous hosts. Thank you again for having us.
