LGBTQ+ films have been a staple of the Sundance Film Fest since the Institute’s inception in the early 1980s.
Although it was a founding goal of Sundance Institute to be inclusive on every level of support for artists, the actual practice of showing diverse work has been a very organic and natural progression. When I think back to the original concept for both the Institute’s labs and the Festival itself, as laid out by our founder Robert Redford, the idea was to support the most original and interesting work possible.
These films usually came from other cultures, other belief systems, other points of view—the stories not being represented in mainstream Hollywood films. They found a home at Sundance, not just because they represented the “others,” but because they were, by nature, good and fresh and exciting. In turn, as the Festival grew, we discovered there was audience hungry for them.
In the late eighties and early nineties, during the earliest years of the of the Institute, we saw titles like Parting Glances by Bill Sherwood, Longtime Companion by Norman René, Desert Hearts by Donna Deitch, even Hairspray, which was not considered a gay film but was obviously infused with John Waters’s queer point of view, pop up on the festival slate. Famous British experimental filmmaker Derek Jarman came to Sundance in 1992 with Edward II, the same year Gregg Araki brought the The Living End to Park City.
It was film academic B. Ruby Rich who coined the name “New Queer Cinema” as she moderated a panel at the 1992 Festival under the title “Barbed Wire Kisses.” After that, it was evident that new energy from the independent film world had ignited, and those anomalies were becoming a formidable new wave.
Gay Directors, Gay Films? By Emanuel Levy (Columbia University Press)
Most of the best queer films had their world premieres in Park City. What once was specific to an artful counterculture developed into films spanned all genres and styles. Queer films peppered every category and section of the Festival. We were seeing a reinvention or reclaiming of romances, thrillers, family dramas, short films, and, of course, the classic coming-of-age stories.
The acceptance of LGBTQ+ themes has changed and matured with recent titles premiering like Call Me By Your Name, Pariah, and The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
Gay-Themed Docmentaries
This edge was not just reserved for fiction: documentaries also sprang up with previously unheard storylines, covering everything from activism to AIDS to alternative families. From The Times of Harvey Milk (1985), Absolutely Positive (1991), Paris Is Burning (1991), and Silverlake Life: The View from Here (1993) to more recent titles like Larry Kramer: In Love and Anger (2015), This Is Not Berlin (2019), and Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen (2020), the Festival has exposed factions of different lifestyles and cultures unseen by most of America.
Below, see a list of LGBTQ+ feature films that have screened at the Sundance Film Fest since its inception in 1985.
