PrideArts continues to be a leader in streaming programming with characters or themes relevant to the many queer communities while being essential viewing for all audiences.

We are interested in new musicals for this fest, especially those that expand the boundaries of what traditional musicals have. We encourage unique voices for both the writing team and the characters in the play.

it!

For the Summer22 Film Fest, we are focusing on several key areas:
Films written and/or directed by women
Comedies - everyone needs a happy ending now and then!
Films with non-binary themes and/or creative teams
Films that explore romance and sex, as long as they portray a healthy and positive sexuality
Films with BIOPOC themes and/or creative teams.

The objectives are to specifically encourage new stories that are essential viewing for ALL audiences.

If you are looking to submit a more traditional queer film - short or features - please do that through our other contest, which you can find here.
