Reel Q Film Festival

It’s the 40th Annual Reel Q Film Festival! The sixth-oldest LGBTQ+ film festival in the world (and the longest-running film festival in Pittsburgh), the Reel Q Film Festival spans ten days with a variety of programs, panels, parties, and community activities, screening approximately twenty feature films and over forty short films at several venues around the city. This year’s festival spans from October 3 to October 11, and City of Asylum is thrilled to be a host in this historic festival!

 For the better part of a decade, City of Asylum has been partnering with Reel Q to bring unique, international queer films to audiences for free. From dramas to documentaries to playful rom-coms, we are honored to serve as a platform for these beautiful works to reach new audiences.

Reel Q is one of the oldest LGBTQ+ film festivals in the world. Starting in 1985, Reel Q’s mission has been to increase the availability and accessibility of queer film in Pittsburgh and its surrounding region, highlighting the diverse experiences of our worldwide community.
