Every year, Frameline is marking new firsts, and 2024 was no exception, said Allegra Madsen, Framelines Executive Director.
Frameline48 began with an unprecedented community celebration of Blackness and queerness, which set the stage for the entire festival to be a celebration of all of our intersecting queer identities.
As both the leader of this dynamic, community-centered film organization and a long-time programmer, I couldnt be prouder of Frameline48s success.
But the success isnt just Framelines the success belongs to the filmmakers, storytellers and audiences who came together to celebrate the power queer cinema has to change the world and shape the cultural narrative.
