Event information:

One of its kind in a Muslim country, the Q! Film Festival showcases films with a gay, HIV and AIDS theme. Each year the schedule gets bigger and better inviting international filmmakers, distributers and thousands more spectators to Jakarta venues.

The festival was launched in 2002 to raise awareness of homosexual issues through the use of the film medium, whilst at the same time introducing alternative cinema. Over 75,000 spectators have turned up to watch 500 films over the years.

Screening locations include Blitz Megaplex, Goethe Haus and Kineforum. Please check the festival website for more details on 2008's venues and schedule information.
