<entity_0> (TIQFF; Chinese: 臺灣國際酷兒影展; pinyin: Táiwān Guójì Kùer Yǐngzhǎn) is an annual <entity_7> <entity_1> held each fall in <entity_5>, <entity_6>. Other events are held in <entity_3> and <entity_4>. It was founded in <entity_2> by the Taiwanese <entity_7> activist Jay Lin, and is the only LGBTQ <entity_1> in <entity_6>. <entity_0> (TIQFF) was established by its founder and Director, Jay Lin, in <entity_2>. Lin says he believes there is a global trend in the production of <entity_7>-related films, and in a report he produced in <entity_2>, found that 17 of the top 20 TV shows in the United States have gay characters or gay actors. Queermosa also uses the comparative visibility of <entity_7> people on US television as an example for <entity_6> to follow, and cites the US figure of 271 visible <entity_7> characters. It featured speeches from several film producers and directors, and the <entity_6> Queer Awards, including a two-day workshop for local filmmakers, focussed on improving distribution and the production of <entity_7> content that appeals to mainstream audiences. The <entity_1> has emanated from pressure for gay rights in <entity_6>, which were part of the political and cultural democracy movements which started in <entity_6> in the 1990s and began to grow. TIQFF's view is that while <entity_7> events such as <entity_6>'s Gay Pride Parade in the early 2000s increased <entity_7> visibility, and were part of several "localized successes", <entity_7> people in <entity_6> at that time still lacked a "central voice".
