The Notre Dame Queer Film Festival was founded in 2004 and ran in 2005 under the same monikeor. In 2006, under pressure from a new administration led by University President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., the name of the festival was changed to Gay and Lesbian Film: Filmmakers, Narratives, Spectatorships. The 2007 incarnation of the festival again changed names to Qlassics: Reimagining Sexuality and the Self in Recent American Cinema.

—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“You should look straight at a film; thats the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
