After celebrating our 20th anniversary at our 2025 Festival, Leeds Queer FF is taking a little break to rest and regroup. Our events are 100% volunteer-run, so we are going to take a year out from running our 5-day festival and spend some time focussing on smaller one-off events, as well as some behind-the-scenes administration of our organisation.
We plan on being back soon with our full festival, so please keep an eye on our page for when submissions will be open!
Thank you for your interest and support!
Festival Aims
+ We create spaces to showcase queer cinema with a focus on independent and DIY films. + We screen films that elevate and prioritise the voices and work of those most marginalised within our LGBTQ+ communities.
+ LQFF is run by unpaid volunteers and we are not for profit; money raised from our festival goes towards future events and supporting queer filmmakers. We aim to make our events as friendly, affordable, accessible and inclusive as we can. By bringing people together and building links, we hope to strengthen our communities.
