@tagqsf.org

Portland's international all-queer short film festival, find us at tagqsf.org. Organized by Juan Trujillo, PhD, emeritus faculty in jotería studies, language and culture. Personal account now active, @juantrujillo.bsky.social

Tag! Queer Shorts Festival is leaning into cute and playful images for this year's design theme featuring the pre-war friends and family of Dick and Jane (of Elson-Gray reader fame). But in case there's any doubt... Tag! is still unapologetically antifa.

What a program! Thanks to all involved including our review team, community collaborators, Events & Film, and our great audience. The biggest thanks go to the Clinton St. Theater and the amazing creators who shared their films. Thank you and follow us on filmfreeway.com/tagqsf for 2027 submissions!

It's going to rain this weekend, which is why it's a perfect excuse to go to the great short films in @tagqsf.org. It's a really nicely curated festival full of work you aren't likely to see anywhere else. And it's broken up into four blocks so you can pick a theme if you don't have time for it all.

Want to get to know the Tag! festival creators better? Swing by Division/Clinton neighborhood favorite Dots Café at 2:00pm on April 12 (before the Queer Styles program). Grab a drink or a tasty treat from the special Sunday food menu and meet the visiting directors, producers and crew!

Tag! Queer Shorts Festival is Antifa and we incorporated historic and modern street art condemning fascism and its manifestations like ICE in this year's publicity (like this sticker from 1980s Germany). Join us in solidarity today however you're able, let's turn back the tide of authoritarianism. ✊
