The Queer East Festival is a cross-disciplinary event held annually in London, with a touring component, dedicated to showcasing LGBTQ+ cinema, live arts, and moving image work from East and Southeast Asia and its diaspora communities. Established in response to the underrepresentation of Asian voices in film and performance, the festival presents a diverse program including features, shorts, documentaries, and experimental films. It also emphasizes queer cinema heritage, featuring restored films and archival materials. The festival aims to amplify Asian queer voices and challenge stereotypes, providing a platform for exploring the contemporary queer landscape across the region.
