The lineup for this year’s Out on Film, Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ film festival, includes a documentary about disco artist Carl Bean, an animated film about a lesbian space princess, and more.
The festival runs Sept. 25 – Oct. 5, with films centering around the theme of “Queer Propaganda.”
“In a year where our rights are being threatened, it’s as important as ever to stand up and show we are around – and not going anywhere,” Festival Director Jim Farmer said.
This year’s lineup features 35 feature films, five streaming-only films, and 105 short films, according to a press release. Tickets are available online now.
The opening night film of this year’s festival is “I Was Born This Way,” a documentary from Daniel Junge and Sam Pollard about the disco artist Carl Bean and his 1977 song of the same name. “Four Mothers,” an Irish film directed by Darren Thornton about a struggling novelist in Dublin taking care of three older women, will be the closing film.
The festival will feature six centerpiece films: “Exit Interviews,” the debut feature Georgia-based filmmaker Garrett Abdo; “Fairyland,” directed by Andrew Durham and based on the memoir by Alysia Abbott; “Lesbian Space Princess,” an animated film from Emma Hough Hobbs and Leela Varghese; “The Librarians,” a documentary from Kim A. Snyder; and “Plainclothes,” a paranoid thriller from Carmen Emmi.
In addition to screenings, Out on Film will also present actress and transgender rights advocate Angelica Ross (“Pose”) with the 2025 Icon Award.
