Dates announced and submissions now open for third annual Northampton Q-Film Weekender

The Northampton Filmhouse is proud to present the third edition of Q-Film Weekender from Friday 8 to Sunday 10 November 2019, a three-day festival celebrating heroes of queer cinema and showcasing LGBTQIA+ stories from around the world. The programme looks to include exclusive previews, features and short films, alongside complementary events.

For the first time, the Filmhouse invites filmmakers to submit qualifying films to be considered for official selection as part of the festival. A panel of experts from the LGBTQIA+ community within Northamptonshire will advise and curate the programme for the big screen, with prizes awarded to winning films. Through the ¬Q-Film Weekender, the Filmhouse is excited to provide a platform for new filmmakers and bring innovative films to audiences they may not have had the opportunity to see before.

To find out more and submit a film for consideration, go to www.FilmFreeway.com and search for Q-Film Weekender. The deadline for submissions is Sunday 8 September 2019. Full terms and conditions, including submissions fees, can be found on FilmFreeway.

The full programme will be announced at a later date.

The Q-Film Weekender is presented in association with Q-Film and has been made possible by grant funding from Film Audience Network.
