Organisers of **Bradford Queer Film Festival** are hoping this year’s festival will be part of a “wonderful legacy” for the city after they were awarded £10,000 from **Bradford Council**.

Bradford Queer Film Festival, which this year takes place from **20 – 23 November** – during **Bradford City of Culture**, is an annual, weekend-long celebration of LGBTQ+ storytelling on screen plus a year-long programme of cinema events.

Creative director **Alice Parsons** said: “Being within the framework of all the other City of Culture celebrations, it’s a really key moment in the programme for LGBTQ+ people.”

She said that making sure LGBTQ+ voices were heard during the City of Culture was “massively important” and added: “Bradford has a huge LGBTQ+ community and a really rich heritage of LGBTQ+ people, activists and organisers.

“The festival is really inter-generational and really reflective of Bradford and we’re really keen that it responds to our unique community here.”

Organisers will also work with the City of Culture team on LGBTQ+ heritage project Pink in the Park, which explores hidden histories.

“Hopefully that sets us up to have a long life beyond the City of Culture year,” Alice said.
