We are a non-profit organization rooted in the heart of Cajun Country, dedicated to uplifting and empowering the LGBTQ+ community of Acadiana. Our mission is to create spaces where queer people can connect, support one another, and promote positive visibility throughout our region.

This year, we are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to showcase queer stories from filmmakers all over the US! We are seeking films that celebrate authentic storytelling, amplify diverse voices, and reflect the richness of queer life.

We will not have awards and prizes, but this is your chance to:
✨ Share your story with a wider audience.
✨ Celebrate the beauty, resilience, and joy of queerness in the South.
✨ Join a network of like-minded creatives and advocates.

Films must include a queer-themed story or be filmed by a person(s) from the LGBTQ+ community.

🎥 Short Films Under 25 min
🎥 Documentaries 30 Min and under
🎥 Experimental Works
🎥 Music Videos by LGBTQ+ Southern artists

Let’s work together to shine a light on the incredible stories that make our community unique. 🌈

    This was the last film festival that my film, 'Brunch before Baptism' was screened - and I couldn't have been more pleased with The Pride of Acadiana Queer Film Fest! From the venue to the festival directors, this awesome film festival receives 5 STARS across the board!!!!
