Berlin Lesbian Film Festival Oct, 2008 (TBA) Berlin, Germany Film
Even though there is a general LGBT film festival in Berlin each year (the Verzaubert), a group of women dedicated to promoting lesbian cinema have also organized this exceptional event for several years. However, they've taken off 2007 and the festival intends to return in 2008.

Side by Side International Film Festival Oct 2 - Oct 5, 2008 St. Petersburg, Russia Film
If Side by Side actually happens, it will be Russia's first ever LGBT film festival.  Since it was announced in January, there have been many demands for the event to be cancelled (like Moscow's attempts at a pride parade), but so far the city of St. Petersburg has said that it will neither support nor ban the film festival, but that it will let it happen.  Gay rights activists have had a terrible time in Russia in recent years, facing constant attacks, both physically and verbally, so kudos on them for trying to make this festival a reality.

San Diego Women’s Film Festival Oct 2 - Oct 5, 2008 San Diego, USA Film
Calling itself "Southern California's most notable and longest running women's film festival", it's also a very queer-positive women’s film fest.
