TeaDance showcases feature, documentary and short films from all over the world that are made by, about or of interest to the lesbian, gay, bi, trans and questioning community.
Taking place in Columbia, South Carolina, TeaDance will feature the best in LGBT cinema from all around the globe. The fest will be in September, leading up to the South Carolina Pride event, the largest in the state.
Film is a dynamic medium with the power to educate, inspire, intrigue and bring people together. Our festival will feature films of all genres in a jam-packed two day festival featuring not only films but also Q&A sessions with the filmmakers as well. TeaDance hopes to not only showcase amazing independent film, but also educate and entertain the public with films that feature LGBT characters and storylines.
Our mission is to have LGBT cinema a part of everyday culture and we want to expose it to as many people as we can.
We are currently accepting submissions for our festival and are looking for films and scripts that:
- are made by LGBT filmmakers and/or
- feature LGBT characters and/or
- have subjects that may be of interest to the LGBT community.
- scripts/screenplays with a LGBT connection.
These films and scripts can be documentaries, comedy, horror, drama, experimental, music video, or any other genre as long as it has a LGBT connection.
