For 2016, QFest: The Houston International LGBTQ Film Festival will mark its 20th anniversary, making it the second longest running LGBTQ film festival in Texas, and the second longest running festival of any kind in Houston.

Curated to highlight the best of Contemporary Queer Cinema, QFest continues its commitment to the past, featuring a yearly selection of revivals showcasing everything from overlooked masterworks to campy, outrageous audience favorites.
