Frameline49, the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, features a diverse selection of nearly 150 films, highlighting the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community during challenging times. Amidst political hostility towards LGBTQ+ rights, especially transgender issues, the festival serves as a space for connection through storytelling, fostering both celebration and critical conversation. Executive Director Allegra Madsen emphasizes the importance of recognizing the powerful stories presented by filmmakers, encouraging audiences to reflect on activism while finding joy and strength in queer narratives. The festival runs until June 28 in San Francisco and Oakland, offering audiences a chance to engage with timely, relevant films.
"I want to emphasize how deeply I value the extraordinary work of our filmmakers this year - their vision and courage are truly remarkable."
"With Frameline49, I want us to examine our past of LGBTQ+ activism and art and I want to honor the powerful stories of this moment."
