Started in 2022, WQ: docs fills the need for a platform to share histories and celebrate the Queer documentary. WQ: Docs is committed to celebrating the documentary form in both short and feature length and we share the mission of our sister festival Wicked Queer.
Our mission is to build community and to celebrate Queer storytelling and filmmaking through the uplifting of voices and stories not yet heard and to present and preserve the vibrancy of our histories.
We have an Audience Awards for both Short and feature length films
