aGLIFF 2026 — Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival
Über dieses Event
aGLIFF — das Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival — ist die jährliche Schau für LGBTQ+-Kino, jeden September in Austin. Eines der bedeutendsten LGBTQ+-Filmfestivals im Süden der USA, zeigt aGLIFF Spielfilme, Kurzfilme, Dokumentationen und Animationen aus den USA und international, mit anwesenden Filmemacher*innen, Q&As, Podiumsdiskussionen und Community-Events rund um die Vorführungen. Gespielt wird in den unabhängigen und Arthouse-Kinos Austins. 1987 gegründet, ist aGLIFF eine feste Größe im LGBTQ+-Kulturkalender Austins, durch die gesamte Wandlung der Stadt von der Hauptstadt eines Bundesstaates zur globalen Tech- und Kultur-Destination. Der September gehört zu den besseren Reisemonaten für Austin: Die extreme Sommerhitze lässt nach, die SXSW-Saison ist sechs Monate her, und die Stadt ist im entspannteren Modus.

Praktische Tipps
Festival passes cover the whole slate and skip the ticket-by-ticket scramble — worth it if you plan to catch more than three screenings.
Q&A sessions with filmmakers happen right after most screenings — hang around instead of dashing to the next one.
Galaxy Theatres sits south of downtown — ride-share is easier than parking on festival nights.
