Out on Film has announced the first five films that will comprise the 35th edition of the Oscar® qualifying Atlanta-based LGBTQ film festival, held from September 22 to October 2, 2022.
The five films are Bryan Darling and Jesse Finley Reed’s All Man: The International Male Story, Micheal Rice’s Black As U R, Matt Carter’s In From the Side, Daresha Kiyi’s Mama Bears and Connie Cocchia’s When Time Gets Louder. In addition to being one of the country’s oldest LGBTQ film festivals, Out On Film is also one of only two LGBTQ film festivals in the country that is Oscar qualifying and one of only six worldwide.
The festival has grown in size and stature ever since an all-LGBTQ team took over in 2008 and in 2022 was the only LGBTQ film festival listed in MovieMaker Magazine’s 50 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee. “We are very excited to celebrate our landmark 35th anniversary,” Jim Farmer, Out On Film’s festival director, said in a statement. “Last year’s event — a hybrid festival with in-person screenings and guests and a virtual one as well — was very successful, with more than 155 films in all, and we look forward to another great event this season.” This year’s event will also feature its first ever screenplay competitions and readings of the winning entrants, Icon Award and Trailblazer Awards presentations and other special events.
The full schedule will be announced August 22. A special July 23 double feature of the comedic “Cop Secret” and the lesbian romantic comedy “Girl Picture” will begin the Countdown to 35 series. It will take place at 7 p.m.
