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.
