About this guide

This year’s theme for LGBT+ history month is ‘Behind the lens’. The idea is to highlight the hard work and contributions of people from the LGBT+ community to the world of film and cinema from ‘behind the lens’.

This includes a wide variety of behind-the-scenes roles such as directors, producers, cinematographers, screenwriters, costume designers, musical score composers, choreographers, special effects artists, makeup artists, set designers, sound and light technicians and other support staff such as food caterers.
