Frameline50

the vibe

Frameline50 is the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival, the longest-running and largest LGBTQ+ film festival in the world, running June 17–27 with an expected attendance of over 60,000. The festival presents feature films, documentaries, and shorts centered on LGBTQ+ stories and creators, screening across multiple Bay Area venues including the Roxie Theater, BAMPFA, The New Parkway Theater, and the Vogue Theatre. Founded in 1977, Frameline returns to its Castro neighborhood home after an absence since 2023, with a Festival Hub at 531 Castro Street offering program guides and information. The vibe is a major community celebration of queer cinema and culture, drawing film enthusiasts and LGBTQ+ audiences for curated screenings and artist events throughout the 11-day run.
