LGBTQ+ Network for Festival Programmers

The LGBTQ+ Film Festival Network provides film festival programmers with a shared space to discover films, exchange knowledge and strengthen the LGBTQ+ festival circuit through collaboration rather than competition.

Programmer members receive free access to a database of LGBTQ+ films currently on the festival circuit (which they can also contribute to). This makes it easier to discover new work, share recommendations with trusted peers and identify films that align with your festival’s values and audiences.

The Network also supports connections between programmers across regions and festival sizes. By fostering open communication and collaboration, it helps festivals elevate programming standards, reduce duplication of effort and support films beyond single screenings.

This space is designed for programmers who care about ethical festival practices, strong curation and the long-term health of LGBTQ+ cinema.
