CinePride Film Festival Launches in L.A. to Support LGBTQ+ Creators in Wake of Outfest Struggles (EXCLUSIVE)
The CinePride Film Festival is launching to celebrate LGBTQ+ filmmakers in Los Angeles after Outfest's financial struggles.
In the wake of the financial issues that halted Outfest, which provided a space in Los Angeles for LGBTQ+ filmmakers to honor indie cinema for over 40 years, the CinePride Film Festival is launching to celebrate queer excellence. Running Sept. 11-14 at the Landmark Theatres Sunset in West Hollywood, CinePride will screen 30 to 40 films across a range of genres, with the goal of highlighting intersectionality during a time of major political upheaval. Asuncion and the CinePride Film Festival board, comprised of transgender model Arisce Wanzer, Mano Y Mano Media founder Winston Emano and San Francisco LGBT Center founder Sabrina Riddle, aim to provide educational opportunities through workshops, filmmaker Q&As and panel discussions during the festival.
