Dates: November 9-12, 2016
Venue: Goethe Institut

About
The year 2016 has been a significant year for the sexual orientation, gender identity and expression community in Kenya. Petitions to decriminalise homosexuality have been filed and court rulings on matters affecting gay and lesbian people have been issued.

We celebrate the fact that we have safe spaces, separate as they may be but safe nonetheless. We celebrate the efforts of those who have worked tirelessly to ensure that these spaces exist.

With films from Africa and the world over, and conversations with special panelists around queer representation in art, censorship, access to queer literature and art in Africa and safe(r) spaces.

About
The OUT Film Festival takes place for the fourth time in Kenya. The film festival not only wants to celebrate queer cinema, but to make known to Kenya that a community that the general society deems secret exists.

The festival promises yet another selection of films and documentaries from the region, continent and globe. The OUT Film Festival is about celebrating life’s challenges, love and diversity. It continues to carry forward the message of Ubuntu.
