San Francisco Transgender Film Festival

Lights, camera, trans visibility! The San Francisco Transgender Film Festival celebrates bold storytelling and the filmmakers who refuse to fit into anyone else’s script. Founded in 1997, it’s the world’s first and longest-running transgender film festival, showcasing groundbreaking shorts by trans and gender-nonconforming filmmakers from around the globe. Expect everything from comedy and documentaries to horror, experimental cinema, and stories that challenge expectations. With screenings at the Roxie Theater and online, this festival proves that some of the most compelling stories come from voices Hollywood too often overlooks. Representation never looked so good.
