Fall heralds the return of the Portland Queer Film Festival, an annual showcase of short and feature-length narrative and documentary films from around the world. While varied in form and content, the selected films share a marked relevance to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (not to mention plenty of film industry buzz).
The festival returns yearly to the historic Cinema 21 theater, a Northwest Portland landmark since 1925. Visit PQFF’s website to learn more about past lineups and to buy a festival pass or individual screening tickets in the future.
Know Before You Go
Parking is very limited in this neighborhood, it’s highly recommended to use public transportation, biking or walking to get to the theater.
