TRÂNSITO is an LGBT+ film showcase based in Pelotas, Brazil.
The name Transito refers to the right of bodies to move, exist, and occupy spaces. The festival celebrates LGBTQ+ stories and filmmakers committed to creating works around these themes.

The showcase is divided into three sections — International, National (Brazilian), and Regional (Rio Grande do Sul) — in order to embrace both local and global perspectives in cinema.

Through film screenings, talks, debates, and cultural activities, TRÂNSITO promotes inclusion, respect, diversity, and human rights, strengthening the local community and contributing to a more just, equal, and welcoming society.
