The Out Film Festival

The Out Film Festival will take place on June 4, 2011 at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington, Kentucky. The festival will include short and feature length films from all over the world. Film content, filmmaker or both will identify with the LGBT community. Films range from, Being a trans-person living in a two-gender society, from a Belgium filmmaker to, The Sisterhood from South Africa.

The goal of the creator and staff of The Out Film Festival is to allow LGBT filmmakers to "Step Out of the Silence and into the Spotlight." This theme symbolizes the struggles that filmmakers of LGBT orientation face in film industry, both in representation and film distribution. Typically offered less opportunities and resources, The Out Film Festival hopes to give them an opportunity to voice their talents.
The festival begins with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. and will conclude at 8p.m. with the awards ceremony.
