St. Cloud OUT’s Annual “St. Cloud GLBTA Film Festival”

Beginning in 2002, St. Cloud OUT coordinated a one-day GLBTA Film Festival that brought many of our GLBT friends together, along with our wonderful Allied supporters and has historically drawn an audience of approximately 150 – 250 people. In 2006, St. Cloud OUT expanded to a two-day film festival with hopes to expand to three days in the near future.

Pioneer Place on Fifth has been selected as the venue of the film festival with available seating for approximately 160 people each night.

About St. Cloud OUT

St. Cloud OUT was established in April, 2001 to explore ways to raise visibility of the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Allied (GLBTA) community in central Minnesota. Charter members quickly realized that while there were a number of GLBTA groups in the area, there was a marked lack of connection and communication among these groups. From that time forward, St. Cloud OUT has been meeting monthly with a primary mission of helping tri-county (Stearns, Benton and Sherburne) GLBTA organizations to become better supported and more visible to each other and to the greater GLBTA community.

Sincerely,

St. Cloud OUT
