Frameline is dedicated to strengthening the diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community and furthering its visibility by supporting and promoting a broad array of cultural representations and artistic expression in film, video and other media arts. Frameline’s integrated programs provide critical funding for emerging LGBTQ+ filmmakers, reach hundreds of thousands with films distributed nationally, and create a global platform for the world’s best queer film through the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival and additional year-round screenings and cinematic events. Inherent in all of Frameline’s work is the belief that diverse representations of LGBTQ+ life can challenge preconceived ideas and stereotypes of our community and in the process educate audiences and build awareness of human rights for all.
