The CinemaQ Film Fest returns for a four-day film fest this August with a variety of short- and feature-length films that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
Opening night kicks off Aug. 11 at Sie FilmCenter at 7 p.m. with a double feature of "The Sixth Reel" and "Psycho Beach Party." "The Sixth Reel" is about a group of collectors trying to return the last reel of a classic film before it's lost forever. "Psycho Beach Party" follows a teen tomboy with several personalities trying to fit in with Malibu surfers.
Friday, Aug. 12 continues with another double header of "Jeannette," the story of a queer single mom who survived the Pulse Nightclub shooting, and "You Can Live Forever," a lesbian teen who is sent to live with Jehovah's Witnesses.
Saturday, Aug. 13 is a day full of films from "Unidentified Objects" to "Mama Bears." The Shorts Program begins at 4:45 p.m. featuring a handful of films created by artists around the world.
The film fest wraps up Sunday, Aug. 14 with four additional films.
Tickets to CinemaQ are on sale now and can be purchased here. An all-access pass to all films is $70.
