ABOUT THIS LIST

The Queer Lion Award was founded in 2007 as a trophy recognising the “Best Film with Homosexual & Queer Culture Themes” among those presented during the Venice International Film Festival.

All the movies containing LGBTQ themes, stories, plots, or characters, presented in any of the sections of the Venice Film Festival are considered eligible for the award. Specifically, these sections are: Concorso (Competition), Fuori Concorso (Out of Competition), Orizzonti (Horizons), Controcampo italiano (Italian Reverse Shot), Giornate degli Autori (Venice Days), and Settimana Internazionale della Critica (International Critics' Week).

The Queer Lion jury, composed of journalists, directors, critics, persons with a deep knowledge of cinema, views all the movies deemed to contain noteworthy LGBTQ elements during the Venice Film Festival, picking the "best film" among them.

The following is a complete list of all films that have competed for the Queer Lion since 2007. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded the Queer Lion.
