The Queer East Festival is back in Edinburgh, and it’s bringing a bold and vibrant celebration of LGBTQ+ cinema and arts from South and Southeast Asia. Running from November 19 to December 11, the festival will light up the Scottish capital for its fourth consecutive year.

This cross-disciplinary event is known for pushing boundaries and spotlighting LGBTQ+ voices and stories through film and live art. It aims to offer a platform for artists and filmmakers from East and Southeast Asia, creating an exciting mix of culture, identity, and creativity. The festival kicks off in Edinburgh with a screening of the Japanese film Kubi, which will be shown at the Cameo Picture House in Tollcross.
