Los Angeles Outfest Next Film Festival

Outfest the Los Angeles-based film festival kicks off their Next chapter November 6th to 9th with new programming initiatives & opening night films Yen Tan's “All That We Love” & Bryan Fuller's “Dust Bunny”. Christopher Racster, Interim Executive Director of Outfest stated, “Outfest was born of the need for our LGBTQ+ community to have a place to safely gather & to support filmmakers who were telling authentic stories.  Outfest is being reborn at a time when telling our stories has never been more important. We are re-emerging to ensure that our community is not being erased by those working to deny us equal & civil rights. We are proud & grateful to have our decades long partner HBO Max returning as Presenting Sponsor for the event. Now more than ever, our community needs to come together & our voices need to be heard.” Lucas Bailey, Outfest’s new President of the Board of Directors concluded, “In addition to the rehiring of key staff members, Outfest has also elected a new Board of Directors, filling key board leadership roles with new, vibrant voices representing a cross-section of the arts & entertainment communities. We are humbled to be standing on the shoulders of those who have spent four decades building Outfest. We are committed to rebuilding in the face of the current headwinds facing the arts, QTBIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. We are inspired by the knowledge that our community has overcome countless obstacles in the past by standing together.” Founded in 1982 by UCLA students Outfest promotes empathy & equality by creating, sharing & protecting LGBTQ stories on the screen.
