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 15th 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). This year’s QFest features 35 films from 13 countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Spain, U.K., and U.S.), including nine narrative features, six documentary features, 17 narrative shorts, and two documentary shorts.
QFest will be presented in person at the Galleria 6 Cinemas, and a half-dozen programs will be offered virtually. CSL is partnering with Eventive to handle our ticketing and to present the virtual portion of the festival.
Venue: Galleria 6 Cinemas, Brentwood and Clayton roads in Richmond Heights. The theater is next to the food court on the lower level. The quickest route is to enter the mall through the doors next to the Cheesecake Factory on ground level. Abundant parking is available both in the garage and on the lot.
