OutFest

"It’s Not About Entertainment. It’s About Empowerment."

It's no surprise that Los Angeles has one of the most prolific LGBTQ+ film festivals in the US, but what makes OutFest stand out is its dedication to supporting queer people in the film industry whether that's from its screenwriting lab to its actor fellowship. Did we mention the organization also has a virtual museum that chronicles queer film and filmmakers throughout the globe?

OutFest will be held in July at some of Los Angeles' most iconic venues, including the Directors Guild of America, The Orpheum Theater, and The Ford.
