LGBTQ+ Network for Filmmakers

The LGBTQ+ Film Festival Network supports filmmakers to navigate the festival landscape with confidence, clarity and purpose.

As a filmmaker member, you gain free access to a curated database of verified LGBTQ+ film festivals. These festivals have been reviewed for legitimacy, quality and relevance, helping you avoid fake festivals, pay-for-laurels schemes and events that offer little real value to your film or career.

Beyond the database, the Network exists to educate filmmakers about festival strategy. This includes understanding which festivals align with your goals, how to build a thoughtful submission plan and how to recognise the signs of festivals that genuinely support filmmakers and audiences.

Whether you are submitting your first short or managing a feature on the international circuit, this space is designed to help you make smarter decisions, save money and focus your energy where it matters most.
