DESCRIPTION:The Long Beach QFilm Festival (QFilms) is the longest-running 
 film festival in Southern Los Angeles\, and the only festival in the area 
 dedicated to screening films showcasing the stories and diversity of the L
 GBTQ+ community and increasing visibility for independent LGBTQ+ and allie
 d filmmakers. \nQFilms’ inception stems from the inspiration experienced
  by QFilms founder Robert Cano after participating in the historic 1993 Ma
 rch on Washington for Lesbian\, Gay\, and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation. 
 With seed money provided by The LGBTQ Center Long Beach\, the inaugural fe
 stival took place in June 1993 in the Student Union at California State Un
 iversity Long Beach to a sold-out crowd. Since then\, QFilms has screened 
 more than 300 films from over 30 countries. In the years since QFilms’ f
 ounding\, the festival has grown to a multi-event experience featuring rec
 eptions and community building opportunities to further strengthen our loc
 al LGBTQ+ communities.  \nEach year\, the festival screens more than 50 fi
 lms\, with approximately 10 feature films and more than 40 short films gro
 uped by target demographic. Films are screened at the Art Theatre of Long 
 Beach\, one of the oldest movie theatres in Long Beach. Many films include
  post-screening Q&A discussions with filmmakers. Audiences also vote on th
 eir favorite films throughout the festival. Receptions are hosted each nig
 ht at The Center\, allowing audiences to engage socially with The Center a
 nd learn more about its programs and services.
