Diversity & Inclusion

LGBT+ History Month 2023 #BehindTheLens celebrates LGBT+ peoples’ contribution to cinema and film from behind the lens. Directors, cinematographers, screen writers, producers, animators, costume designers, special effects, make up artists, lighting directors, musicians, choreographers and beyond.

At a time when LGBT+ lives are in the media we also encourage you to look ‘Behind the Lens’ and listen to LGBT+ peoples’ lived experiences.

The events which take place throughout the month are delivered by community groups, schools, volunteers, activists, and organisations from the private, public and third sectors. Anybody can take part, and everyone who decides to host an event, however big or small, whether online or in-person, helps to make LGBT History Month what it is.

Claiming our past – Celebrating our present – Creating our future

Out Together, our Presidents chosen charity for 2022/2023 would like to share with you how they are supporting LGBT+ History Month 2023
