The QueerFilmFest Rostock creates a shared space for the lovers of queer films and adds to Rostock’s cultural diversity. It also draws attention to the fact that people are still discriminated against because of their gender identity, sexual orientation or relationship choices.
The QueerFilmFest Rostock is non-commercial and independent. There are no set ticket prices, we only ask for a donation at the entrance. The festival is financed through these donations and grants from various organizations.
The festival is organized by volunteers and takes place at the M.A.U. Club in Rostock.
The festival takes place every year in October on one weekend from Friday through to Sunday. We screen feature films, shorts, documentaries, animations and experimental films as well as music videos from all over the world.
We have an audience of about 100 – 140 people per film block.
We do Q & A sessions after the screenings with directors, actors or organizers of other festivals.
The festival does not present any awards.
You can get in touch with us through social media or email: queerfilmfest[at]gmail[dot]com.
