The Korea Queer Film Festival (KQFF) (Korean: 퀴어영화제) is a film festival held annually in Seoul that showcases the lives of sexual minorities, which seeks to increase diversity in Korean films and the human rights of LGBTQ+ people and give insight into queer culture.[1] KQFF was established in 2001 and has been held annually ever since. KQFF is the oldest gay and lesbian film festival in Korea,[2] and is part of the Korea Queer Culture Festival. It aims to screen rare modern and older films on a wide range of LGBT topics. KQFF was originally named the "Rainbow Film Festival" (무지개영화제) for its 1st through 6th years, then changed its name to the "Seoul LGBT Film Festival" (서울LGBT영화제) for its 7th through 13th years, and since the 14th year has been referred to as the “Korean Queer Film Festival” (한국퀴어영화제).[3] The festival aims to support and celebrate the LGBT community,[2] to contribute to the development of LGBT films, to build a network among domestic and international filmmakers, establish cultural diversity and to be actively involved in cultural activism for LGBT rights.[4]
