Frameline49 Film Festival First Friday Screening; "Heightened Scrutiny"

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.

A salient document of our current moment, Disclosure director Sam Feder’s Sundance standout acts as the “centerpiece” of Frameline49. The film centers on ACLU attorney Chase Strangio, the first out trans person to argue before the Supreme Court. While Strangio fights a high-stakes legal battle to overturn Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth (United States v. Skrmetti), he and other leading activists, like Laverne Cox and Elliot Page, examine how media bias influences the public’s perception of trans rights.
