Queer Film Festival: Playa del Carmen

Queer Film Festival: Playa del Carmen

Thursday, 20 November 2025 until Wednesday, 26 November 2025

The objective of this QF Festival is to provide a space for the exhibition of quality cinema while supporting productions whose central themes are sexual diversity and the defense of the human rights of the LGBT + community. At the same time this event creates a meeting place for all those involved in the production of this type of cinema, as well as for people who wish to do the same in the future or are interested in the aforementioned subjects. This festival opens the doors so that both people involved in the creative process and those interested in it can share their experiences and join forces by screening films and exchanging ideas and experiences, regardless of their country of origin.
