Hi-Pointe Theatre
1005 McCausland Ave, St. Louis, MO 63117QFest St. Louis 2026 returns for its 19th year June 12-21, the region's flagship LGBTQ+ film festival, presented by Cinema St. Louis at the historic Hi-Pointe Theatre. With the theme OUT, LOUD, this ten-day run packs eight feature films and four shorts blocks into one of the city's most-loved single-screen movie houses, making it a cornerstone of the St. Louis Pride 2026 calendar for anyone who loves film and storytelling. Opening night lands Friday, June 12, at 7:30 p.m., and the lineup spans narrative features, documentaries, and shorts that center LGBTQ+ lives and voices from St. Louis and around the world. Beyond the screenings, the festival builds in special events worth planning around — a live taping of a sapphic dating show on June 13 with an afterparty, and a Trans Youth Art Sale on June 20 spotlighting trans and nonbinary young artists. It's a welcoming, come-as-you-are crowd, equally good for a serious cinephile or anyone looking for a thoughtful night out during Pride Month. The Hi-Pointe Theatre sits at 1005 McCausland Avenue near Clayton-Tamm and Dogtown, with street parking around the neighborhood and rideshare an easy option. Individual tickets and all-access passes are on sale through Cinema St. Louis — check festivals.cinemastlouis.org for the full schedule, showtimes, and the OUT, LOUD slate, since screening times vary across the run. Arrive a little early for popular titles, since the single screen fills up. On a St. Louis Pride 2026 calendar full of parties, QFest is the deep, week-long heart of the month for film lovers.
