Frameline46’s a Wrap!

Thank you all for making Frameline46 one of our best ever!

With over 125 film screenings, including 19 world premieres, 11 North American premieres, 10 U.S. premieres, 28 West Coast premieres, and 44 San Francisco Bay Area premieres, Frameline46—the world’s largest LGBTQ+ film festival—wrapped its 11-day festival with a return to in-person screenings at theatres and venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, star-studded red carpets, onstage Q&As, and glittery events. In addition, Frameline46 featured a national Streaming Encore where film fans from anywhere in the United States were able to stream titles.

“We are eternally grateful to the San Francisco Bay Area community and beyond for their continued support of Frameline,” said Frameline Executive Director James Woolley. “With immediate and ongoing threats to LGBTQ+ rights around the world, it is more important than ever to amplify the voices of those who are often silenced and drive forward Frameline’s mission of changing the world through queer cinema.”

“Despite all of the obstacles we experienced over the past several years, we are extremely proud of what we were able to accomplish at Frameline46,” adds Frameline Director of Programming Allegra Madsen. “We extend immense gratitude to our supporters, sponsors, donors, staff, volunteers, as well as the hundreds of filmmakers who shared their beautiful films with us.”

Over the course of 11 days, Frameline46 drew tens of thousands of patrons at in-person screenings around the San Francisco Bay Area. Star-studded red carpet arrivals and post-screening Q&As with filmmakers and celebrity guests elevated the overall festival experience. Highlights included appearances by Maybelle Blair, member of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League and inspiration for A League of Their Own; cast members from Peacock’s Queer as Folk; and filmmakers and cast members from Hulu’s Fire Island, to name a few.

In addition, Frameline46 held a series of glittery events, including the opening night gala held at San Francisco’s Terra Gallery, an intimate conversation with actor, producer, director, and host Michael Urie; and a Centerpiece party at San Francisco’s Oasis that featured special performances by Vinsantos, Fauxnique, D’arcy Drollinger, and more.
