It will be followed by the annual prize-giving ceremony, with screenwriter Russell T Davies returning to presented the awards.
Highlights of the festival include acclaimed feature debut Sequin In A Blue Room, about a teenager's attempts at no-strings dating, and The Archivettes, which tells the story of New York's Lesbian Herstory Archives. Guests scheduled to attend include Mark Blane, who wrote, directed and starred in Cubby, and Billie And Emma director Samantha Lee.
"We’ve managed to fit a lot into our six days," said festival director Berwyn Rowlands, expressing particular enthusiasm about the festival's documentary strand.
The festival runs from 8 to 13 Oct.
