I have been to more than one lesbian film festival here in the U.S.
And of course, there are annual queer film festivals all over the U.S. Two of them near me.
Maybe they just did a "quick and dirty" google search?

Dapper,
I forgot to get back to you on this, and I'm sure many others have also been waiting with bated breath to hear the results of my investigation after your disputing this event's yearly claim of it being 'North America's Only Lesbian Film Festival.'
I did write the organizers to ask them for verification of the claim, but, unfortunately, I haven't received a response back. I do plan on asking about this yearly claim to an organizer when I attend the event next weekend.
However, after an EXTENSIVE online search (and I do admit the fallibilities of Google), I did not find ONE
solely LESBIAN film festival. There were LGBTQ (or some variation of) and Queer and even ones identified as Women's film festivals; however, this is the only one I can find that is solely identified as a LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in North America.
Dapper, what were the names of the SOLELY lesbian film festivals you attended? Maybe that will help. As you know, LGBT or QUEER or Women's film festivals will not be allowed as contradicting the London's festival's claim. It must be designated as a soley
LESBIAN FILM FESTIVAL in order for your opposition to their claim to be warranted.
P.S.
Tickets are still on sale!
