About the festival

As queer artists, we have the ability to change the tides. Our stories roar loudly like a thunderous storm at sea. Las Vegas Queer Arts Film Festival encourages you to share your art, make a statement, and most importantly, make waves. This is an all-inclusive, diversity-driven film festival for LGBTQ+ filmmakers and artists hosted in Las Vegas, NV. The second annual run will take place November 8 - November 10, 2019.

LVQA will exhibit a variety of visual media work with each project having had a member of the LGBTQ+ community playing a prominent role in its production, or a message that speaks directly to the community through story and art.

The festival will kick-off with an opening social mixer and Annual Ball on November 8. Join us and immerse yourself in one of the most influential experiences of queer culture. Our Annual Ball is an opportunity for you to come and express your most authentic self. Show off your sickening look and slay the runway while perhaps snatching some trophies. Film screenings will then run on the weekend of November 9 - November 10 for ticketed audiences.

Though the festival primarily seeks to encourage community and share the creative talent in the Las Vegas and surrounding areas, LVQA is open to submissions from all-over. Just as the LGBTQ+ community is diverse in its people, we want to showcase artistic endeavors and projects that contain just as many multitudes. So what's your art?
