Queerstreifen Münster

The "Queerstreifen" are an annual, non-profit LGBTI film festival in the city of Münster. It takes place every early November and usually runs four days, from Thursday to Sunday.

Being one of the smaller LGBTI festivals in Germany, we have a very loyal audience base in Münster and the region with about 1.600 visitors every year. The festival takes place in the local movie house "Cinema" with the main festival hall with 158 seats.

Currently the Queerstreifen organizing team consists of six members, three women and three men who have been working together for almost 16 years.

Our festival program features LGBTI dramas, comedies, short films and documentaries from all over the world. Whenever possible, we invite guests like filmmakers, actors to talk about the movie with the audience. In addition to our films we also often have readings by current LGBTI authors and each Queerstreifen festival is opened with a little show gig with local or regional artists, singers or bands performing.
