A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It has been an extremely challenging time for many arts organizations, locally and nationally, and QFest is no exception. Among the many challenges of organizing festivals during a pandemic, unanticipated loss of financial support has led us to decide that our 25th annual festival will be our last. We’re extremely proud of having foregrounded Queer perspectives, supported a great many risk-taking artists, and brought countless expressions of LGBTQ life and imagination to Houston screens over the past two-and-a-half decades. At the 25-year mark and with the 2021 festival encapsulating the kind of fearless, uncompromising curation QFest has become known for, we’ve decided this will be the conclusion.
