About
Welcome to our first venture into streaming!
Moving to a digital platform has forced us to become better, more accessible, and more innovative for our audience and the filmmakers we support. We are excited about this new way for everyone to stay connected during the festival, even though we won’t be together in a movie theater. Now you can experience more of the stories we have curated. No more missing an anticipated film because you don’t have time to make it to the theater. No more back-to-back screenings wondering if you’ll have time to grab a bite to eat between shows. Now you can watch your favorites over again, in any order you want, and perhaps sample some films you would have otherwise missed. This year we have focused on highlighting marginalized and underrepresented LGBTQIA+ artists. The stories told by these incredibly talented women, transgender, indigenous, people with disabilities, and people-of-color creators are vital, brilliant, and important.
Here’s something else to think about: Did you know that our beneficiary, Indiana Youth Group, is the longest-running LGBTQ youth organization in the entire country? For more than 30 years IYG has provided safe spaces and vital support for thousands of LGBTQ youth in Indiana. To learn more, visit IndianaYouthGroup.org.
On behalf of everyone involved, from our hardworking steering committee to the filmmakers, and all our wonderful sponsors, we want to sincerely thank you for supporting the Indianapolis LGBT Film Festival.
What are you waiting for? Press play!
