The wait is finally over!
We are thrilled to announce the official film list for the 2026 edition of Colors of Love – Queer Film Festival, a celebration of love, identity, resistance, and belonging through cinema.
This year, the festival proudly presents 50+ powerful films from 18 countries, bringing together diverse voices, stories, and cinematic styles from across the globe. From intimate personal narratives to bold political statements, from tender romances to radical explorations of gender and sexuality — the 2026 selection reflects the many colors of queer experience.
A Truly Global Queer Line-Up
Our curated programme includes:
- Short films, feature films & documentaries
- LGBTQIA+ stories across cultures, languages, and regions
- Emerging filmmakers alongside acclaimed international voices
- Films that challenge norms, celebrate joy, and spark conversations
Each film has been carefully selected to reflect the festival’s core belief: love exists in many forms, and every story deserves a screen.
