Frameline50

Founded in 1977, the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, hosted by Frameline, is the longest-running, largest, and most widely recognized queer film exhibition in the world. In June 2026, be part of film festival history as we celebrate five decades of queer media at Frameline50.

Join us for Frameline50 — 11 days of film screenings, parties, networking events, and industry panels at venues in San Francisco and Oakland. Be a part of history in the making!

Frameline50 will be an 11-day in-person showcase of the world’s leading queer cinema in venues throughout San Francisco and Oakland. With an average of 60,000 attendees, Frameline is the most prominent and well-attended LGBTQ+ arts program in the US. We bring together an unparalleled community of festival-goers for the world’s largest celebration of queer media.

Frameline was ranked #8 in a 2023 USA Today‘s Readers Choice poll of the 10 Best Film Festivals in the United States. The Festival also presents several juried awards and special honors to festival films.

Frameline has been a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ storytelling and community for nearly five decades. As we plan for our 50th anniversary, visit our Sponsorship page to learn more about our current Festival sponsors and all of our partnership opportunities.
