Past Festivals

Out Film CT has been presenting our community here in Connecticut with great LGBTQ films for over 35 years now. That’s over 2,000 films shown – including features, documentaries and shorts.  Please select a Festival below for a walk down memory lane or to explore films you may have missed and might want to see.
The EROS Festivals were held in conjunction with Trinity’s LGBTQ+ student group.  More info about that organization can be found here.
