The Inside Out Film and Video Festival (formerly, Inside Out Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival),[1] also known as the Inside Out LGBT or LGBTQ Film Festival,[2][3] is an annual Canadian film festival, which presents a program of LGBT-related film.[4] The festival is staged in both Toronto and Ottawa.[5] Founded in 1991, the festival is now the largest of its kind in Canada.[6] Deadline dubbed it "Canada’s foremost LGBTQ film festival."[7]

The organization also presents a series of film screenings throughout the year outside of the dedicated festival, as well as a touring program of short film screenings in smaller towns and cities within Southern Ontario. The organization's current executive director is Lauren Howes, who succeeded Andria Wilson in 2021.[8]
