Her Shrts Lineup
Moonflower
Despite their opposing worlds, the Sun and Moon attempt to bridge the gap between them.
The Space Between
Two college students, who on the outside couldn’t be more different from each other, happen to meet at a party and form a deep connection where they find self-discovery, forgiveness, and hope for the future.
The invincibles
Amidst the somber era of the rising National Socialism, a fervent bond evolves between Nelly, a Jewish artist, and Eugenie, her muse and paramour. They valiantly confront the looming threat by safeguarding their artistry and individuality, boldly resisting oppressive forces. The film takes inspiration from the real-life narratives of Jewish female artists compelled to emigrate, their art stigmatized as “degenerate,” and their names expunged from art history by the National Socialists
The Light
An Iranian woman faces an impossible dilemma because lesbians aren’t allowed to give birth to a child.
Saturday Ritual
High school soccer players Cammie, Em, and Kara have a tradition of visiting a new psychic after every Saturday match. Cammie soon finds herself in over her head when a highly recommended psychic unveils an unknown secret.
ABOUT REEL Q:
Reel Q began in 1982 as the Pittsburgh Lesbian & Gay Film Series, a project of Pittsburgh’s GLCC (now the Pittsburgh Equality Center) and Pittsburgh Filmmakers. Our founder, Rich Cummings, launched the festival in its current form in 1985 and we hosted the first Pittsburgh Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.
Now called Reel Q, our film festival in October is the sixth oldest LGBTQ+ film festival in the world and the longest running film festival in Pittsburgh.
We also organize year-round events including our Reel Stories international film series. We facilitate meet and greets, panel discussions, parties, and partnered community events.
There is plenty of time to get involved with Reel Q! You can add your name to our volunteer list to find out how you can be part of one of the most unique cultural organizations in Pittsburgh.
