The 5th annual PrideFull Fest will run from September 6 through September 14, 2025*!

PrideFull is a New York-based film festival by and for Queer and Trans People of Color. We curate and screen innovative films that center LGBTQIA2S+ people of color and their stories. Visit our website for the previous lineup.

PrideFull started in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic and right after the Black Lives Matter movement, with a mission to create an open, safe, community-driven space where we can celebrate and appreciate stories that represent ourselves, and support each other. We bring QTBIPOC filmmakers and audiences together, create a platform to amplify our own voices and share resources, and ultimately make the film industry more inclusive, equitable, queer & colorful!

We are currently waiving festival submission fees for QTBIPOC filmmakers who are transgender, immigrants, and/or sex workers. To request a waiver code, please email pridefullofficial@gmail.com with detailed information on your eligible project.

PrideFull is a hybrid festival with in-person screenings in NYC and online streaming.

* Exact festival dates are subject to change within September 2025.

Awards & Prizes

PrideFull is not an awarded festival. We celebrate all QTBIPOC films with full appreciation and excitement!
