The fest, now partnering with Outfest, will showcase 16 narrative films and five documentary features this year.
“In the year following spectacular LGBT civil rights advances across the country, the dynamic and fresh slate of 2014 NewFest films decisively demonstrates that artists and storytellers lead the charge in creating social change,” said Kristin Pepe, Outfest’s Director of Programming.
