THE 4TH FLIP THE SCRIPT QUEER FILM FESTIVAL

Flip the Script is happy to announce the 4th Flip the Script Fest (FSF) returns to the Fall Arts Scene this October 6–14th, 2023.

Held annually, FSF is a nine-day film festival celebrating Queer stories from 2SLGBTQIA+ filmmakers all over the globe.

FSF 2023 will continue to present a hybrid festival with in-person screenings taking place October 6–8th, at Emagine Willow Creek Theatre (9900 Shelard Parkway, Plymouth, Minnesota), LUSH Lounge and Theater (990 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413), and with virtual access October 6–14th, through Eventive.

FSF 2023 is honored to share that films programmed through submissions will be eligible to win The Michael Alonga Award for Audience Choice Film, aka The Daphnes. Based on audience votes, one short film will receive a $500 cash prize, and one feature film will receive a $1,500 cash prize.

The Daphnes are generously sponsored by WE WERE THERE, INC, a registered 501(c)(3), whose mission is the preservation and dissemination of LGBTQ+ history through multi-platform storytelling, with the goal of educating and empowering LGBTQ+ youth.
