The inaugural OUTstream Film Fest will make its debut June 1-7, 2020, and has announced its call for entries for film submissions. The LGBTQIA+ focused film festival will kick off Pride month amid the COVID-19 crisis offering a selection of films celebrating queer cinema and seeking to bring all audiences together online to enjoy the films, as well as be virtually introduced to the filmmakers.

The seven-day virtual film festival will showcase queer film, episodic, and short films from all over the world, as well as provide audiences an opportunity to view the programs from any device. Viewers can also participate in interactive online Q&As and discussions about the state of queer art, film, and media.

Audience awards will be announced for narrative, documentary, and short films at the conclusion of the film festival.

About the Author

From humble beginnings as a bisexual art kid who drank more coffee than a 40-year-old author, Remy now holds a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University and is a proud member of the HorrorBuzz team (and still a bisexual art kid who drinks too much coffee). They were first introduced to the world of horror and camp when their grandma showed them The Rocky Horror Picture Show at age 5, and never looked back. When they're not writing cartoons or working on movies, one can spot them in various clubs around Los Angeles performing very, very self-deprecating standup comedy. Howdy ho!
