Apart from fulfilling its socio-political function, Pink Apple also focuses on events in a film-historical and/or film-aesthetical context. The fringe programme consists of numerous Q&As, panels, lectures, public viewings and, occasionally, exhibitions and masterclasses. Since 2015 Pink Apple has presented a Festival Award for special merits in gay and lesbian filmmaking.
