The Rehoboth Beach Film Society (RBFS) is proud to present the 2025 Pride Film Fest in partnership with CAMP Rehoboth. The four-day festival held from Thursday, May 14, through Sunday, May 17, 2026 and will showcase LGBTQ+ features, shorts, documentaries, and international films.

Continuing last year's theme of “celebrate, entertain, inform,” this year’s festival exclusively celebrates not just queer representation, but also queer art, culture, history, and achievement. we’re reflecting the truly global scope of queer joy on film. We are especially focused on amplifying the voices of transgender and non-binary folx and LGBTQ+ people of color.

For purposes of this platform, we are only accepting short films (no less than seven and no more than 30 minutes long) for this festival.
