📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Out In Africa South African Gay and Lesbian Film Festival was an influential gay and lesbian film festival in South Africa, organised by filmmaker Nodi Murphy and collaborators from 1994 to 2018. Along with holding annual film festivals with events in Johannesburg and Cape Town, Out in Africa (OIA) partnered with groups in rural areas to run smaller festivals that brought together LGBTI community members. Scholar Ricardo Peach said the festival was "instrumental in developing and maintaining a post-Apartheid Queer public sphere which fostered further legal change." Funding included grants from the Atlantic Philanthropies, commercial sponsorships, and contributions from individuals.
