QUEER|ART is a non-profit arts organization serving a diverse and vibrant community of LGBTQ+ artists across generations and disciplines. Queer|Art was born out of the recognition of a generation of artists and audiences lost to the ongoing AIDS Crisis, and in a profound understanding that one of the many repercussions of that loss has been a lack of mentors and role models for a new generation of LGBTQ+ artists. Founded in 2009 by filmmaker Ira Sachs, Queer|Art serves as a ballast against this loss and seeks to highlight and address a continuing fundamental lack of both economic and institutional support for LGBTQ+ artists. Our mission is to provide individuals within our community with the tools, resources, and guidance they need to achieve success and visibility for their work at the highest levels of their field.
Queer|Art is seeking submissions for a curated short film program, featuring works made by Black trans filmmakers/artists. We accept short narrative, documentary, experimental film and video submissions, including music videos and animated work.
GUIDELINES
- Please submit film/video work under 20 minutes.
- We will notify you if your work is accepted by June 9, 2025. Selected artists will be invited to attend the screening in-person or online, and participate in a talkback.
- A small screening fee ($100) will be paid to the artists/directors for each work selected for screening.
