OUTSOUTH Queer Film Festival, formerly The North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (NCGLFF), has consistently been ranked among the largest Queer film festivals in the United States, attracting thousands of patrons yearly.
In 2021, Moviemaker Magazine named OUTSOUTH QUEER FILM FESTIVAL as one of "20 Fantastic LGBTQ+ Film Festivals Around the Globe."
Since its beginning in 1995, the Festival has featured a diverse array of shorts, documentaries and feature films. The Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau named OUTSOUTH as a Signature Event for Durham, the highest honor bestowed on a cultural event or attraction by the organization. The Carolina Theatre of Durham, NC, curates and produces the festival.
OUTSOUTH celebrates a worldwide glimpse of today’s queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender life, with a goal of helping to bring the community together and featuring entertaining and sophisticated films and filmmaking.
OUTSOUTH Queer Film Festival seeks submissions in many categories. Please extensively review the categories BEFORE submitting your film. We are especially seeking submissions that include Black, Asian & Pacific Islander or Latinx characters and themes. We include animated short films.
In 2021, OUTSOUTH has been confirmed to be an all-virtual festival.
