We celebrate LGBTQ+ film all year-round!
Beyond the Festival, we have a lot going on: advance screenings & premieres, monthly programs & more!
NewFest Presents
Our curated monthly series features topical documentaries and narrative films that reflect the wide range of LGBTQ+ identities, giving audiences an opportunity to experience our stories and stay connected to the community through screenings & conversations with filmmakers and LGBTQ+ leaders.
Featured films go live on the first Thursday of the month and remain available to stream throughout the weekend. Screenings include a Q&A.
Youth Programs
Through screenings and talkbacks with filmmakers, NewFest’s Youth Programs create visibility for marginalized and underrepresented communities, foster allyship and self-empowerment, and encourage the next generation of queer storytellers.

Coming Out Again
[Currently on pause due to COVID-19]
Programmed and presented in partnership with Quad Cinema, this monthly retrospective series surveys lesser-known and highly influential landmarks of LGBTQ film history that deserve reappraisal in today's landscape of queer cinema.
