QFest St. Louis uses the art of contemporary gay cinema to spotlight the lives of LGBTQ+ people and to celebrate queer culture. The event will excite, entertain, and enlighten audiences of all identities.
This year marks the 17th anniversary of QFest. The fest, which largely features films that would not otherwise screen in St. Louis, is presented by Cinema St. Louis (CSL), organizers of the St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF). There are 27 films from 9 countries (India, United Kingdom, Iran, Greece, Australia, Tunisia, Germany, Turkey, and the United States), including 4 narrative features, 5 documentary features, 11 narrative shorts, and 7 documentary shorts.
