We’ve already established the largest collection of accessible LGBT moving images in the world and seek to expand our titles to include every relevant film and video ever made.  In addition, Legacy Project related screenings are now a mainstay at Outfest: The Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Film Festival and Fusion: The Los Angeles LGBT People of Color Film Festival.  We’ve also expanded our partnership with the UCLA Film & Television Archive to establish the bimonthly Outfest Legacy Project Screening Series, which will take place at the Billy Wilder Theater in the Hammer Museum.

Research Access to The Outfest Legacy Collection At UCLA
Titles held in the collection are primarily comprised of Outfest's library of preview screeners. Each year, Outfest will transfer new acquisitions to the Outfest Legacy Collection, expanding the amount of holdings available to researchers. Material available in the collection includes submitted and accepted festival entries, exhibition prints of films, television programs, public service announcements, commercials, music videos and electronic press kits (EPKs) that provide a unique perspective on issues concerning gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and gender variant identities and experiences.
To encourage research access to the collection, ARSC and Outfest have produced the Outfest Legacy Collection Study Guide, which offers a sample list of significant titles held in the collection. For a printed copy of the study guide, please stop by ARSC in 46 Powell. The guide is also available for download.
