Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I find distributors for lesbian and gay films to show on my campus?

A: Perhaps your campus is too far away from a major Lesbian & Gay film festival. These resources can help you identify titles and often sources for films if you wish to set up a festival on your own campus!

Visitors to our site from outside the United States are directed to a guide of distributors who operate internationally that was assembled by Film Journal: http://www.filmjournal.com/applications/guides/G_IDG_N.cfm

You might talk to the media acquisitions librarian for your campus and see if s/he could order the films you want for the campus film library. You could then check them out as needed -- and they would be available for faculty use in courses. The librarian may need your help to get letters from faculty indicating that they will use the film in courses currently being offered or which are under development.
