Wicked Queer: Boston’s LGBTQ+ Film Festival (formerly the Boston LGBT Film Festival) was founded in 1984 by film programmer George Mansour. Wicked Queer is the 4th longest running LGBTQ+ Film Festival in North America and is an all volunteer organization. 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.

Wicked Queer is a sponsored project of the Queer Film Institute.

It takes a village to put these screenings together. WQ:40 seeks volunteers to fill many positions for the 2024 season. Email them about joining their volunteer team!
