Eye For Film >> Festivals >> A-Z >> Queer East >> 2025
Opening with Takeshi Kitano's myth-busting samurai epic Kubi, this year's Queer East is bigger than ever and features a wide range of films from East and South East Asia. This year there's a special strand focused on the lives of LGBTQ+ East and South East Asian people living in Scotland, and another exploring the experiences of those resident in post-Soviet Central Asia.
The festival runs from 23 April to 18 May.
