Transcending Shorts Lineup

Reciprocity

An intimate and experimental look into the emotional experiences of Western transgender people through the use of dance, color, and sound.

Chica

After being attacked by the police, Katya, a trans sex worker, is given the opportunity to publicly denounce the assault in a television report. She decides not to do so, despite her desire to make a change, to prevent her mother from learning about her true occupation.

Skin

Skin is a poetic exploration of identity and self-discovery, using visual symbolism to depict a woman’s transformation into a man. With the help of their inner manifestation, the ice man, they shed their old skin and embrace their true identity.

You Don’t Have To Apologize

Rafa, a young gay trans man, has already resigned himself to the fact that he will never find another boy who accepts him until he meets Henrique.

A Letter from the Ashes

A rough and raw letter on what it means to lose love at the expense of finding freedom. An essay on family, anger, and fraud.

Amorphous

A queer artist searches for answers when their estranged, comatose father begins appearing in visions that rewrite the nature of their troubled history together.

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.
