!!UPDATE!!

After 25 fabulous years OUTrageous Santa Barbara LGBT Film Festival is going on hiatus. This means that unfortunately there will not be any festival in 2017. We're looking into ways to stay active in the future and hopefully are not going away forever, but for now we're taking a break. Keep an eye on this page for any updates and please reach out to us on Facebook if you have any ideas or would like to volunteer in some way. Thanks!

OUTrageous provides a diverse selection of films that entertain, challenge, and educate the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered communities. OUTrageous also provides filmmakers with opportunities to screen their work that might not otherwise be seen locally.

Since 1991, the Santa Barbara Lesbian & Gay Film Festival has been providing a spectrum of films and videos for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. Our desire to represent the diversity of our community in film and video has resulted in a new name: OUTrageous: The Santa Barbara Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Film Festival.

ONLINE SCREENERS ONLY- Please include a link and password (if needed) to view your film online. Links can also be e-mailed to info@outrageousfilmfestival.org Links will only be used by programming committee and will not be shared or used for exhibition without filmmakers express permission.

FEE WAIVERS:
Filmmakers in Santa Barbara county are eligible for fee waivers if requested.

While we would like to provide submission fee waivers to as many filmmakers as possible we are generally unable to at this time. We are a small, volunteer-run organization that depends on income from sources like submission fees to survive. You are always free to request a waiver or discount for special circumstances, but please be aware that will most likely be unable to provide one. Thank you for your understanding.
