Weird Folk is focused on short form animation and experimental film made by queer artists. In the spirit of underground cinema, we embrace imperfection, amateur methods, low-budget, irreverence, and whole lot of gayness.
Show us what you got. Between 1 second and (around) 7 minutes. Did you animate it on a drug fueled bender? Or did it take years to make? We allow (we love) animated nudity, explicit content, bad language, and things not appropriate for kids.
Our goal is to share LGBTQ+ artists and the work they're creating, as well as promote non-commercial independent animation and grow the animation community.
All submission fees go toward venue rental, event materials, and maintaining the website.
