Outfest Partners with Amazon Prime Video
60+ Films Now Available to Stream 



Amazon yesterday announced that over 60 official selections feature films from Outfest are now available on Prime Video. The collection of films are made available through the Prime Video Direct (formerly Amazon Video Direct) self-publishing program which enables rights holders, from filmmakers to distributors, to make their content available to Prime members and earn royalties based on customer engagement.

"These are challenging times for many and reports of violence against LGBTQ citizens are on the rise,” said Christopher Racster, Executive Director of Outfest. “I still believe though in the power of our stories to change that narrative be it for a young teen in Iowa can watch a fully developed LGBTQ character to see a path forward for their own life, to a parent turning on the TV to better understand their child, to the millions who have attended any of our Outfest film festivals over the past 35 years who want to relive a favorite Outfest moment or see something they missed. It is a relationship like this with Prime Video Direct that will carry our stories across the widest network and reach the most individuals."

The official selections from past Outfest Film Festival’s currently streaming on Prime Video include:

A Sinner in Mecca, winner of 2015 Outfest Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary
Open, the first American film to win the Teddy Jury prize at the Berlin Film Festival
The Gymnast, winner of 2006 Outfest Grand Jury Award: Outstanding American Narrative Feature
GBF, Outfest Screenwriting Lab script and 2013 Outfest Los Angeles Closing Night Film
Women Who Kill, nominated for Film Independent's 2018 Best First Screenplay

Prime members will be able to stream the films via the Prime Video app for compatible TVs, connected devices including Fire TV, mobile devices, and online at www.amazon.com/primevideo.
