QCinema

QCinema was Fort Worth's LGBTQ film festival and year-round screening organization. Founded in 1998 by Shawn Moore and Todd Camp, it began with community screenings and a film discussion group at Texas Christian University and became a four-day festival in July 1999. Over two decades it added monthly screenings, live programs, a lesbian film festival and a Movies at the Modern series with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Its 21st annual festival ran October 3–5, 2019. Archived versions of its site through early 2025 show no later festival, and no announcement of a return was found, so it is listed here as defunct.
