Queering Cinema

We are launching our biannual Short Film Fest “Queering Cinema” featuring LGBTQ+ filmmakers in and around the Twin Cities! The first show will be held at the Capri Theater in North Minneapolis. After the screening there will be a short Q&A with some of the filmmakers so artists can share more about their creative process and answer questions. The audience will vote on the film they believe to be most impactful, most cinematic, and most experimental. The awardees will be featured on our website and receive a gift card to a local queer owned business, as well as a prize that the RLH collective will create!!

We believe that “Queering Cinema” isn’t just about showing films with Queer people in them, but presenting a platform for Queer people to tell their stories, their way. We do not require the filmmakers to submit films that are specifically about Queerness, but we do require that each maker is from, lives, or works in Minnesota, and identifies as LGBTQ+. We hope that these events will connect Queer filmmakers and Queer audience members alike.
