Queer Vision 2025

Season

Please note : this season finished in July 2025

Queer Vision Film Festival brings you a diverse programme of UK & International LGBT+ films including independently-made feature, animation and award-winning short films.

Now in their 14th year of celebrating LGBT+ cinema, the festival believes in the importance of seeing ourselves reflected on screen and the power of film for social change. We hold regular events and activities all year round as well as our main festival during Bristol Pride.

The programme brings you tears of joy and heartbreak, conversations started, talks, performance and empowerment as we aim to increase the visibility of our community and accessibility of Queer media. The festival aims to create a community of queer film lovers with a safe space to explore themes, and discuss the representations we see.
