For thirty five years New York’s LGBTQ+ Film Festival has been presenting daring and bold queer cinema, and this year’s fest is back with more premieres and special screenings. Running October 12 to the 24th in NYC and virtually the 35th Annual New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival will have over 130 premiere films representing queer voices from around the world.  The Opening Night film is the NYC premiere of George C. Wolfe’s Rustin, a biopic on Bayard Rustin, the extraordinary activist and organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. An opening night party will follow the screening.

One of the special screenings is the NYC Premiere of Nyad, starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster, which tells the true story of athlete Diana Nyad. The International Centerpiece is the NYC premiere of Hirokazu Kore-ada’s Monster, winner of the Queer Grand Palme at Cannes. Closing the festival is Andrew Haigh’s All of Us Strangers in which a writer who has just entered into a new relationship journeys to his childhood suburban home to find that his dead parents have returned.
