QFest 2016: The 20th Annual Houston International GLBT-Q Film Festival (at various venues July 21-25), features Houston premieres selected from the 2016 international film-festival circuit.

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.

A five-day, citywide event, QFest is co-presented by some of Houston’s most renowned arts organizations, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Rice Cinema, Aurora Picture Show, Asia Society Texas Center, DiverseWorks and The Houston Museum of African American Culture.

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.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston proudly hosts screenings in the 20th edition of QFest. Programmed by Kristian Salinas, selections include a tribute to noted Italian filmmaker Liliana Cavani.

Howard Brookner was buried on his 35th birthday in 1989. He was many things: gay, an Ivy League graduate, seedy-nightlife lover, and maker of cult documentaries.

To director Aaron Brookner, he was a loving and inspirational uncle who died of AIDS when Aaron was only seven.

QFest’s Documentary Centerpiece is a nephew’s personal journey to discover his uncle’s films and establish his legacy.
