It's our 19th year of celebrating the best of LGBTQIA+ films from around the world with the Miami Valley, and we found it so hard to make decisions that we decided to expand the festival by an extra day.

Join us at THE NEON during the long weekend of Oct. 10-13 for 9 different screenings - featuring 25 short and feature-length films. And don't forget our Friday Night Party - this year at Lily's Bistro.

Some special details are still in the works, but you can read about all of our films and find ticketing and scholarship details on this site. For the latest developments, be sure to check out and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

We can't wait to gather together and share these incredible films with the community!

3:15pm: What a Feeling

Dir. Kat Rohrer /111 Min /Austria

A chance encounter at a lesbian bar brings two women of a certain age living strikingly different lives together in this winning romantic comedy. Named after Irene Cara's classic anthem from Flashdance, WHAT A FEELING blends heart with a lack of self-consciousness, telling a poignant story of new love amongst two women in the "sandwich generation" while also never taking itself too seriously.

6:00pm: Turtles

Dir. David Lambert /80 Min /Belgium, Canada

Now in their 60s, Thom and Henri are a married couple living an outwardly sweet existence at their quaint home in Brussels with their pet turtles Topsy and Turvy. As they celebrate Henri's retirement from the police force, Thom sees this as a perfect opportunity to rekindle their passion after 35 years. But Henri can't cope with his newfound lack of purpose, and thus… the two start to drive each other crazy.
