DiverseWorks and QFest are collaborating to host the LGBTQ film festival’s Annual Launch Party and serve as its official Hub.
QFest, Houston’s LGBTQ film festival, is dedicated to promoting the arts as a powerful tool for communication and cooperation among diverse communities by presenting programs by, about, and of interest to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
2016 not only marks QFest's 20th anniversary, but also makes QFest the second longest running LGBTQ film festival in Texas, and the second longest running film festival of any kind in Houston.
A five-day citywide event, QFest highlights a curated, international selection of films featuring some of the finest of Contemporary Queer Cinema as well as an eclectic mix of timely and well-considered revivals and tributes showcasing everything from acclaimed masterworks to campy and outrageous audience favorites.
