Queer East -

Following the success of its London edition this May, Queer East embarks on a three-month nationwide tour, On the Road, bringing a selection of highlights from this year’s programme to big screens across the country.

The touring programme will showcase a diverse selection of films, including unmissable LGBTQ+ classics, bold new releases, a wealth of short films, and moving image work that spotlights emerging directors.

After its pilot tour last year, the festival will double the number of venues this year for its On the Road programme, which runs from September to December. By broadening the reach of Queer East, the festival aims to share East and Southeast Asia’s vibrant queer filmmaking history with a wider audience, and to contribute positively to the diversity of the film exhibition scene.

Venue partners around the UK include: Midlands Arts Centre (Birmingham), Filmhouse (Edinburgh), CCA Glasgow, Warwick Arts Centre (Coventry), HOME (Manchester), Broadway Cinema (Nottingham), Lewes Depot, Fabrica Gallery (Brighton), Showroom Cinema (Sheffield) and more.

Queer East is supported by the BFI Audience Fund, awarding funds from the National Lottery. More than £30M is raised each week for good causes across the UK by the National Lottery.

The outline below lists the films that are currently confirmed for the tour. This will be regularly updated with details of venues, dates, and additional titles.
