Frameline49 Film Festival Pride Kickoff Screening; "Assembly"

The world’s largest and longest-running LGBTQ+ film festival is returning to San Francisco and Oakland with 11 days of 100+ queer films. Show up for queer and trans stories June 18–28 at #Frameline49 as a reminder that the world is watching.

Working with LGBTQ+ activists, poets, dancers, rappers, and in connection with community, queer, Black visual artist Rashaad Newsome’s new immersive work serves as both salve and lifeline to those daring to exist outside the margins. Through personal stories and tributes, odes to ballroom culture, live music, and Afro-futurist AI, Newsome transforms an NYC armory into a performance, art, and resistance sanctuary for the queer community.
