Short films aim for Oscar gold thanks to Atlanta’s Out On Film: It’s one of the most prestigious film festivals of its kind in the country — and right now, top artists from around the world are in Atlanta to show their work and make their voices heard. The 39th Annual Out On Film LGBTQ+ Film Festival is happening now through October 4th, featuring a long list of events including filmmaker conversations, workshops and panels, and screenings. Festival events are hosted by several venues in the city, but the heart of the action is Landmark’s Midtown Arts Cinema, which will screen the festival’s lineup of narrative features, documentaries, short films and premieres. Out On Film has the distinction of being one of only six LGBTQ film festivals in the world that are Oscar-qualifying, which means the winner of the Jury Award for Best Drama Short is eligible for Academy Awards consideration.
