Original programs highlighting some of the best new LGBTQ+ films from around the world. We are thrilled to return for 10 days in the Castro, and at Roxie Theater, Palace of Fine Arts, The Vogue, New Parkway in Oakland, and Herbst Theatre.
Frameline Talks, a curated series of live panels and thought-provoking Q&As with filmmakers, celebrity guests, and community personalities.
"As we return to an in-person festival, we are reminded of the importance of LGBTQ+ cinema to help transform viewpoints, create dialogue, and, most importantly, expand representation of marginalized communities," said James Woolley, Frameline Executive Director. "We are excited to share the stories and voices of the LGBTQ+ community that are sure to resonate long after the credits have rolled."
"We look forward to activating theaters and venues around the San Francisco Bay Area and sharing in a collective in-person cinematic experience" adds Allegra Madsen, Frameline Director of Programming.
