It is our hope that this year’s festival will remind us of the importance of community and connection, as well as continue to inspire change through film.”

Frameline director of programming Allegra Madsen added:

“This year’s festival builds on Frameline’s long-standing commitment to celebrate and amplify queer voices. Exploring themes ranging from queer family histories to confronting the future with a world in a state of flux, the diverse lineup of films shed light on what it means to be queer around the globe.”

Per the release, this “11-day festival includes 17 world premieres, eight North American premieres, five U.S. premieres, 28 West Coast premieres, 44 San Francisco Bay Area premieres, and spans narrative features, documentaries, episodics, and shorts programs. With the theme ‘The Coast is Queer,’ the all in-person festival will take place at theatres and venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including the Castro Theatre, Roxie Theater, SFMOMA, AMC Kabuki, and Proxy in San Francisco; and the New Parkway Theater in Oakland.”
