OUTnorthLA 2025 Returns September 5–11 
Dear Friends,
Since its beginning in 2009, the OUTnorthLa Film Festival has been an important part of PACE’s mission to uplift LGBTQ+ voices and create dialogue in our community. What started with Actor Leslie Jordan and a screening of Sordid Lives has grown into a space where stories of resilience, love, struggle, and joy are shared and celebrated.
This festival has never been “just movies.” It has been a catalyst for change—helping spark conversations that led to meaningful policy shifts here in Shreveport and beyond. Year after year, OUTnorthLa reminds us of the power of storytelling to open hearts, shift perspectives, and bring people together.
Now, more than ever, that work matters. In a time when LGBTQ+ rights and visibility continue to be challenged, OUTnorthLa stands as a reminder of who we are and the future we are building together.
We invite you to join us September 5–11 at the Robinson Film Center for OUTnorthLa 2025. Let’s celebrate queer cinema, honor the voices that have carried us this far, and create space for the stories still to come. Let’s be visible, let’s be seen, and let’s keep showing up for one another.
With gratitude,
The PACE Team
