The Rome Gay & Lesbian Film Festival is a major cultural event in Italy dedicated to promoting equality, inclusion, and acceptance of sexual minorities through cinema. As a non-profit organization, we are committed to bringing filmmakers from around the world together to explore the diversity of the LGBTQ+ experience through a carefully curated selection of films. Our diverse program includes moving documentaries, inspiring comedies, captivating dramas, and bold experimental works, providing an unforgettable cinematic experience. However, the Rome Gay & Lesbian Film Festival goes beyond simply screening films. We also organize discussions, panels, workshops, and special presentations aimed at deepening understanding of LGBTQ+ issues and fostering dialogue. As agents of social change, we also invest in LGBTQ+ initiatives and organizations to contribute to a more equitable world.
