The Fort Lauderdale Gay& Lesbian Film Festival is new and emerging with a goal of bringing the best in LGBT cinema to Fort Lauderdale and the Broward County community. Screenings will be held throughout the greater Fort Lauderdale area but our major cinema venue will be The Classic Gateway.

The 5th Annual Fort Lauderdale Film Festival will take place Thursday October 10th through Sunday October 13th.

The Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is committed to its mission: To enrich, entertain and educate the public, encourage a sense of community through the presentation of international and culturally diverse film, video and other media that offer historical and/or contemporary perspectives on the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender experience.

The festival was originally a part of the final weekend of the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival with less than 10 feature films screened. It has grown into its own festival consisting of 4 days in October and presenting over 40 feature and short films over the 4-day period.
