Queer Brilliance Film Festival (QBFF) is a documentary film festival that features films created by queer and transgender filmmakers of color that are about the experiences of queer and transgender people of color within the United States.

QBFF is seeking documentary film submissions by U.S.-based, QTPOC filmmakers. Documentary films about queer and trans people of color are affirming, powerful and necessary. Submit now! Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 4, 2016.

QBFF will be debuting at the 2016 National Queer Arts Festival in the San Francisco Bay Area.
