The 11-day festival will take place July 14-24 in venues throughout Los Angeles.

Since 1982, Outfest has screened thousands of LGBTQ+ films and television shows at its annual Outfest Los Angeles film festival.

The 40th annual Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival will kick off with Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning artist Billy Porter’s directorial debut, “Anything’s Possible,” on July 14 at The Orpheum Theatre. Porter will also be honored with the Outfest Achievement Award on opening night. The horror-comedy “HeBGB TV” will be screened at Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater in Los Angeles on July 16 during the 40th annual Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival. It will also be available for streaming July 17-19. A late night host takes over a retro-horror TV cable box and curates nostalgic queer killer content with scares and cheap laughs.

The 40th annual Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival will close with a screening of director and screenwriter John Logan’s queer slasher, “They/Them,” at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles on June 24. The film stars Kevin Bacon, Anna Chlumsky and Theo Germaine and is set in a conversion therapy camp. He said that he and his crew dug deep into the history of Outfest.

The Tony-, Grammy- and Emmy Award-winning Porter will also be honored with the 2022 Outfest Achievement Award. Navarro said that Porter has been a supporter for many years, but that it was more than his work as a performer that earned him the trophy.
