Overview

Cinequeer Film Night in Atlanta is a queer-focused screening event presented as part of Southern Fried Queer Pride’s annual festival, held at the Plaza Theatre. It is notable for centering queer and trans filmmakers and for serving as a local showcase of LGBTQ+ cinema, typically featuring films and shorts followed by audience discussion or community engagement. In the broader festival circuit, it functions as a community-oriented, grassroots event rather than a major competitive festival, helping elevate marginalized voices within Atlanta’s queer arts scene.
