Queer Cinema Shorts
The intention of this list is to provide easy access for users to find QUEER Cinema titles which run 45 minutes (exactly, the definition of a short film) or less, including those titles made for TV or streaming, but which are not TV series, which will have it's own list. Most of the films here can be found on YouTube, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Dekkoo, HereTV, Strand, Queer Cinema, OnPride, FilmRise Pride, Revry, and a few others. Some are free to watch, some require a subscription or pay to view.
(Queer Cinema includes titles which are about LGBTQQI subjects and stories, both fiction and non-fiction, including scripted dramas, comedies, musicals, etc.; as well as unscripted, documentary, and reality titles.)
This list will have added titles as they become available, and should the list come to more than 200 titles, it will be further divided by date or decade produced.
