"Despite the anti-trans dial being turned up across the country, the annual San Francisco Transgender Film Festival (SFTFF) returns with more than 40 films from around the world, showcasing creative resistance to the current political scapegoating of trans and gender non-conforming communities."
"Started in 1997, SFTFF is North America's first and longest running transgender film festival. Known for uplifting underrepresented voices, DIY-aesthetics, brave filmmaking, and super-queer quirkiness, the festival has films this year that display trans and gender non-conforming filmmakers responding to the climate of hate with unmatched bursts of creativity."
"SFTFF 2025 will offer both in-person and online programs from November 13-23, 2025, with a rich offering of four programs, featuring a range of films across genres from documentaries and politics to animation, dance, music, romance, horror, and experimental films."
"You can't keep us down. Since we started, resistance has been our middle name. Through our films, we've pushed back against the stifling confines of the gender-binary and also the never-ending wave of anti-trans attacks and discrimination, all through the power of art."
San Francisco Transgender Film Festival returns November 13–23, 2025 with over 40 international films showcasing creative resistance to political scapegoating of trans and gender non-conforming communities. Founded in 1997 as North America's first and longest-running transgender film festival, SFTFF uplifts underrepresented voices with DIY aesthetics and bold queer filmmaking. Four curated programs cover documentary, politics, animation, dance, music, romance, horror, and experimental films; Programs 1–4 screen in person at the historic Roxie Theater November 13–15 and stream on-demand for free November 16–23. All in-person programs will be ASL-interpreted and all films will be captioned. KN95 masks will be provided and required; the Roxie is wheelchair accessible with all-gender bathrooms, and the festival centers community safety amid attacks on trans civil rights.
