Though it’s impossible to know until we’ve seen the films, IndieWire culled the lineup, polled filmmakers and producers, and consulted GLAAD in order to create a list of the most exciting queer films playing the festival.
This year is shaping up to be no different, with many of the most anticipated premieres promising thoughtful LGBTQ-related content. From launching “Boys Don’t Cry” in 1999 to premiering “Call Me by Your Name” in 2017, the Sundance Film Festival has long housed some of the most transcendent, experimental, and provocative queer films of the last decades.
