About
Austin's LGBTQ+ Film Festival Austin, Texas
Based in Austin, Texas — aGLIFF’s mission is to create positive and visible film programs relevant to the lives of LGBTQ+ identified and allied people. Our goal is to entertain, educate, and inspire audiences with carefully curated movies the represent the entire spectrum of the Queer experience.
We operate with a deep belief that film is the universal language that helps people find our commonalities and understand each other. This becomes increasingly important as we battle against institutionalized bias against our community, especially in Texas. We strive to curate a roster of films about the LGBTQ+ experience that anyone, independent of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can relate to and empathize. We aim to intentionally expand our audience reach to celebrate our intersectionality’s by aligning with other film organizations such as The Austin Film Society, the Austin Film Festival, Indie Meme, Cine Las Americas, Austin Asian American Film Festival, and other multicultural film festivals and industry communities. We endeavor to invest in Queer filmmakers helping them tell the stories of our community and allies through recognition, mentorship and financial reward.
aGLIFF programs include the Queer Spectrum Community Screenings & Events Series and the Queer Black Voices Fund which cultivate in our annual PRISM LGBTQ+ Film Festival each August.
