QDoc Portland Queer Documentary Film Festival 2015

QDoc is the only festival in the U.S. devoted exclusively to Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) documentaries. Documentaries offer a unique vehicle to creatively engage core issues of queer identity – politics, history, culture, diversity, sexuality, family, aging, and coming-out issues. Documentary as a form of expression is as vital and energetic as it has ever been, and QDoc brings the highest caliber of films – and their makers – to share with Portland audiences.

“We firmly believe that our stories need to be told, our youth deserve to know the richness of our culture and history, our seniors deserve to be praised for their work and struggles on our behalf, and people need to be informed of the struggle for equality around the world” – Les Lewis and Rick Watkins, QDoc supporters.

This year we are thrilled to be holding the entire four day festival at the glamorous Hollywood Theatre! We’re looking forward to having more guest filmmakers join us than ever!  So save the dates, stay tuned for announcements, and plan on coming down to the Hollywood Theatre for an exciting and stimulating four days with undoubtedly the smartest, best looking people in Portland.

“QDoc stretches the genre to its limits, providing something of interest to pretty much everyone” − Erik Henriksen, Portland Mercury.
