Queer cinema has always been a portal into what comes next—a place where new ways of loving, living, and belonging are imagined before the world is ready. Future Is Queer honors that cinematic tradition: stories that refuse the “acceptable” version of queer life, expand identity beyond labels, and treat self-expression not as something to defend, but as something deeply human and essential to the stories of tomorrow.

In a moment of renewed pushback and uncertainty, we choose to lead with hope. We believe in a future shaped by compassion, connection, and mutual respect—one where no one is reduced to a category or made to feel smaller for being themselves. This year, we’re not only screening films—we’re screening possibilities: bold, boundary-breaking work that insists the future can be brighter, more inclusive, and full.
