The Connecticut LGBTQ Film Festival, hosted by Out Film CT and held annually in Hartford, Connecticut, is an American film festival with a focus on films created by and for members of the LGBTQ+ community.[1] Established in 1988, it is the longest running film festival in Connecticut.[2][3] The festival is traditionally held in early June, when it's seen as a lead-in to other events during LGBTQ Pride Month.[4] Shane Engstrom has been director or co-director of the festival since 2001. In 2021, Jaime Ortega was appointed as co-director alongside Engstrom.[4]
The most recent festival took place virtually in 2020 (due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic),[5][6] and the next festival is planned for June 4 through 13, 2021, with a mix of in-person and virtual screenings.[7]
