For 11 years, the Queer Film Festival Munich has stood for the visibility and representation of diversity on the big screen and shows films beyond heteronormative cinema. With their selection of films, the team questions and deconstructs stereotypes of all kinds and advocates an intersectional view of media representations. The programming focus is on new international and regional productions and classics to be rediscovered. Whether documentary, feature film, animation, series or short film - every cinematic form finds its home here.

In addition to the film screenings, we organise talks and workshops throughout the year. Since its beginning, the QFFM has thus reached almost 13,000 people with queer films and events.

Films that are presenting new or different perspectives of queer lives can be submitted for QFFM screenings all through the year.

The style and the length of your film doesn’t matter.

+++ It is not possible to refund submission fees! +++
+++ Non German and non English language films need to include German or English subtitles (preferably burned in) +++
+++ The rights for any kind of music used in the film must be cleared by the submittter and belong to the responsibility of the submitter +++

    It was a pleasure and an honor to have my short film, Never My Love, have its European premiere at the Queer Film Festival Munich. The festival was attentive to my requests and very open in communication, and despite not being able to attend myself, I received great feedback of the experience from friends in the audience.
