Out on Film, Atlanta’s LGBTQ+ film festival, ran from Sept. 25 to Oct. 5 this year and broke records in the process.
“This was by far our best year in terms of revenue and in terms of attendance,” Out on Film Festival Director Jim Farmer said. “We set records roughly about two-thirds of the way into the festival. We had sold-out shows every day of the 11 days. It was tremendous.”
Farmer attributes some of the festival success this year to the programming Out on Film has been doing throughout the year, including its Spring Mini-Fest and other screenings throughout the year. Farmer said that more than 17,500 people attended the festival this year between in-person and virtual.
This year’s festival theme was “Queer Propaganda,” a response to the stance that federal and state governments across the country have taken toward the LGBTQ+ community over the past few years.
