NewFest Pride & Frameline49 Team Up To Set ‘Jimpa’ As Opening-Night Film


Following the film's Sundance premiere, 'Jimpa' will kick off the two largest LGBTQ film festivals in the country.

Also starring Olivia Colman as Frances’ warm mother Hannah, the film represents multiple generations of the LGBTQ community through an authentic and empathetic perspective. With NewFest Pride running virtually and in-person May 29 to June 2 in New York City, the festival’s executive director David Hatkoff said they’re “thrilled to be part of this historic moment” of unity with Frameline. “By sharing this groundbreaking film with our audiences, we are not only celebrating the work of Sophie Hyde and her incredible cast, but also making a bold statement about the power of collective resilience in the face of adversity.”
