The festival will feature over 57 feature films (the best of new queer cinema), as 90 shorts, talks, discussions and parties. It opens on March 15th with ‘The Stroll’ - a story of transgender sex workers in New York City’s Meatpacking District.

This year’s festival also features an LGBTQ+ VR Museum, featuring four days of VR, XR and immersive work where you can view and touch different artefacts curated by queer people - celebrating individual stories. The museum is also completely free.
