The 8th El Lugar Sin Limites Film Festivalwill be held simultaneously in five Ecuadorian cities: Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Manta and Riobamba November 20-28, 2010.
El Lugar sin Limites film festival is organized by Quitogay.net in collaboration with Ochoymedio Movie Theatres. The 5-city festival gains press coverage by both local and international media. It aims at creating a space for cultural and social integration, through an event that combines knowledge, entertainment and reflection about the issues of sexual diversity, relevant to any society.
The festival will include three categories: Feature films, Documentaries, and Short Films. All entries must have a 2006 copyright date or earlier. The official language of the Festival is Spanish. Therefore, entries must either be in Spanish or provided with Spanish subtitles.

For each category (Long Feature, Documentary and Short Film), there will be an award for best work. Entries that have been previously shown at commercial venues or have participated in other festivals in Ecuador are not eligible.
