The inaugural Silicon Valley Queer Film Festival (SVQFF) aims to address the absence of a queer film platform in San Jose, overshadowed by the historic Frameline festival. Founder Robby Kendall, a filmmaker and drag performer, saw a potential audience eager for local representation after successful screenings of his own works in San Diego. The festival seeks to create an immersive experience that highlights the local queer community and brings joy through film and performance, promoting a more inclusive cultural landscape in the Bay Area.
Frameline's success has overshadowed the need for a queer film festival centered in San Jose, where a local audience has long been waiting for such an event.
Robby Kendall, SVQFF's director, recognized the potential audience for a hyperlocal queer community event and drew from his experience to launch the festival.
