Wolfe Video is the longest running and largest exclusive distributor of LGBT films in the world.

Founded in 1985 in New Almaden, California by Kathy Wolfe,[1] the company began as a consumer mail order distribution company for gay and lesbian VHS videos and has evolved over 40 years to become an all-rights distributor of LGBT films. Wolfe Video releases LGBT films on VOD, DVD as well as film festivals, international sales, streaming, and broadcast sales for its library of more than 125 feature films and documentaries.

Notable Wolfe releases over the years include the film Big Eden, the 20th Anniversary DVD release of Desert Hearts, Were the World Mine, and Thom Fitzgerald's AIDS drama 3 Needles. Significant Wolfe DVD releases in recent years include the Sundance Film Festival award-winner Undertow, the acclaimed French drama Tomboy, the praised Polish cyberthriller drama Suicide Room, the multiple award-winner Gayby, and Swedish lesbian romance Kiss Me (With Every Heartbeat). Wolfe has also released two films by the writer and director Stephen Cone, including The Wise Kids and Henry Gamble's Birthday Party.[2][3]

In June 2012, the company launched a new worldwide LGBT movie-watching platform, WolfeOnDemand.[4][5]

In 2015, Wolfe Video donated its complete DVD library of lesbian movies to the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives.[6][7]

In 2025, Wolfe Video celebrated its 40th anniversary with a streaming release strategy.[8]
