QUEER-Streifen Regensburg pairs feature-length films with an international short-film competition organised into lesbian, gay and queer programmes. The festival dates back to 2012 and presents cinema about LGBTQ lives during a week in autumn at the Kinos im Andreasstadel in Regensburg, Germany. A professional jury selects a short-film winner, while audiences choose favourites in each short-film category and among the features.
The nonprofit festival is organised by QUEER-Streifen Regensburg e.V. and belongs to the QueerScope network of independent queer film festivals. Its 15th edition runs from 22 to 28 October 2026, with 20 films in the international short-film competition.

Short films run up to 30 minutes; feature films and documentaries longer than 30 minutes are also considered but are outside the international short-film competition.

Submitters are responsible for clearing music rights.
