By Charlotte Robinson, September 27, 2024

The 36th edition of Newfest NYC’s LGBTQ Film Festival takes place in person from October 10th through October 20th in theaters throughout Manhattan & Brooklyn & will also be available to stream virtually throughout the United States on NewFest’s on-demand platform October 10th through October 22nd. Now the largest LGBTQ film festival in the United States NewFest36 will include more than 140 new queer features, shorts & episodic projects plus special legacy screenings. David Hatkoff NewFest Executive Director stated, “On the cusp of a historic election, the LGBTQ+ community is, once again, at a moment where we need to show up for ourselves & each other. As the largest queer film festival in the country, NewFest takes the responsibility of providing a safe & joyful space for queer audiences to celebrate queer stories very seriously. In our festival’s 36th year, we are thrilled to share films that inspire empathy, delight, discovery & connection & a lineup that honors the incredible diversity & creativity of the LGBTQ+ community.” Nick McCarthy NewFest Director of Programming concluded, “This year’s expansive lineup is a bold testament to both the future & legacy of queer cinema. We’re thrilled to showcase a marvelous mix of groundbreaking new films & amplify the landmark queer filmmakers that blazed trails before. From modern rom coms to compelling nonfiction to genre delights, this year’s inclusive & sterling slate proves our community’s far-reaching experiences & stories cannot be boxed in. We’re so excited to gather artists & audiences as we celebrate this evolution & envision the magical future of queer cinema together at the 36th edition of the festival.”
