14 Years Strong

CinemaQ started as a monthly program with Denver Film with a promise to screen at least one film a month that fit the LGBTQ+ scope. We were successful in that mission and after two years we elevated it to a mini-festival in 2009. The CinemaQ Film Festival will celebrate its 15th year this August.

"We’re beyond thrilled to present a fresh new slate of the best LGBTQ+ films for this year’s CinemaQ Film Fest and come together, in-person, to share in the stories, voices and viewpoints of our community once again.”
Keith Garcia

Top Notch Partners

Each year we work with incredible community partners, without whom the festival would not be possible. These partners range from LGBTQ-owned businesses, colleges and universities, LGBTQ empowerment groups, restaurants, corporate brands, and more. We highlight our partners through engaging activations, opportunities for introductions and participation in Q&As for selected films, brand awareness through video spots, logo placement, and branded swag. We work with each partner to personalize their festival experience, and ensure that all of their goals and ambitions are achieved.

Best of LGBTQ+ Film

In its inception the goal has always been simple, to raise the voices of the queer community using film as the main medium to showcase new visions around unique experiences, interests, issues and beyond while bringing visibility to an often marginalized demographic and sharing these themes with the moviegoing public at large.
