Want to be part of the glitteriest festival in all the land? Applications for the 27th GAZE LGBT Film Festival - August 1st - 5th NOW OPEN. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, genders and orientations. We're not heterophobic :P Our volunteers form an enthusiastic, committed family we like to call the House of Gaze. Celebrate queer cinema, come on!
Our vols razzle dazzle us each year by selflessly giving up their bank holiday weekend to help our audiences cram as much queer cinema as one can into one small weekend. Prepare to be glittered and glued to the screens of Light House for the queerest time of the cinema year! Our programme this year is super strong and muscley (ooh), and in the words of (some people's) gay icon, Right Said Fred, "too sexy for its shirt." Our volunteer team is a diverse bunch from all ages, occupations, identities and backgrounds. They generously give their time helping behind the scenes to bring GAZE to life.
Let's Gaze it up festivalistas, the party is about the begin.
