Welcome to the second edition of the Queer Spectrum Film Festival — a celebration of queer stories in motion. As Ireland’s first film festival dedicated to LGBTQIA+ people of colour and immigrant voices, QSFF highlights powerful narratives shaped by migration, nostalgia, and transformation.
This year, as we commemorate the 10th anniversary of Ireland’s marriage referendum, we reflect on its significance in inspiring queer migrants from the Global South and East to come to Ireland. At QSFF, we go beyond coming-out stories to embrace tales of transition — across borders, identities, and generations.
Organised by Queer Asian Pride Ireland (QAPI) and supported by Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre, Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride, and Maharani Gin, this festival honours those who carry echoes of home within them and find courage in new beginnings.
These stories breathe, bleed, and blossom — alive with the richness of becoming.
